What do civil engineers need to know about artificial intelligence?

AI also presents new ethical issues for civil engineers to consider, from who owns the copyright of AI-generated images, to who controls the data collected or generated by such systems, to potential biases introduced into AI systems by their programmers — consciously or unconsciously

The Step Pyramid of Djoser complex in Saqqara, Egypt, was constructed about 4,500 years ago. Evidence from nearby and underground the complex suggests a complex system of hydraulic engineering. (Image courtesy of Paleotechnic)

Did ancient builders use hydraulic engineering to build step pyramids?

The researchers say their findings suggest that hydraulic engineering may have been a significant player in ancient pyramid construction
