What happens when reshapes the very institutions societies rely on?

This new work argues that current AI systems can already weaken institutional capacity by accelerating operations, reinforcing existing biases, and creating artificial consensus at scale, raising urgent questions:

Autonomous robots and AI models could help shipyard workers catch when a ship’s built structure differs from design drawings, allowing workers to fix problems or adapt sooner. University of Michigan Engineering is leading the American arm of an international project to develop such a system.

Funded with a $6.2 million grant from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the collaboration will design and prototype AI and robot teammates to track what was actually built inside the growing ship and compare it to a digital twin of the intended structure. The system will then create reports of mismatches that workers can use to make adjustments.

β€œWe want to build a co-pilot system that uses AI and robotics to take some of the detective work off workers’ shoulders,” said Alan Papalia, assistant professor in NAME at Michigan and the principal investigator of the American research team.

β€œThe system should automatically map what’s installed, identify where reality is drifting from the design, and suggest workable alternatives when something needs to change.”
