AI in structural monitoring: what works and what is marketing

Artificial intelligence in structural monitoring does two things well and three things badly. We translate z-score through one example, show where AI commentary helps with engineering reports, and give ten questions for an 'AI' vendor.

  • Two things AI does well, and three it does not
  • A statistical anomaly is not a structural threat
  • Z-score in 200 words
  • Engineering reports: calibration debt, temperature compensation, 7/30-day risk, data SLA - where AI helps and where it only calculates
  • Questions for an "AI" vendor
  • FAQ
  • Sources and further reading
  • What next
