The Download: how AI could improve construction site safety, and our Roundtables conversation with Karen Hao

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-18 14:10:00

More than 1,000 construction workers die on the job each year in the US, making it the most dangerous industry for fatal slips, trips, and falls. A new AI tool called Safety AI could help to change that. It analyzes the progress made on a construction site each day, and flags conditions that violate Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules, with what its creator Philip Lorenzo claims is 95% accuracy. Lorenzo says Safety AI is the first one of multiple emerging AI construction sa

The ultimate manifestation of the Empire’s overwhelming belief in strength through fear, the Death Star is everything insidious and evil about the Imperial engine in Star Wars—as well as its inevitable downfall. But while the story of stopping the Death Star is well trod at this point, the story of just how it was built in the first place is much more complicated. It’s not just complex because the Death Star’s construction took place over the course of decades, but because of that time frame, t

Building semiconductor plants in the US takes twice as long, costs twice as much as in Taiwan

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-06-04 06:41:00

The big picture: The U.S. and many Western markets are simply not as efficient as Taiwan in building semiconductor fabrication (fab) operations. According to reports, 18 new fab construction projects are planned for 2025 alone, making it crucial to address these challenges. The West must streamline fab construction processes to catch up with the well-established semiconductor ecosystems of Taiwan and other Asian manufacturing hubs. TSMC encountered significant challenges when it began construct
