Using AI to Make Lower-Carbon, Faster-Curing Concrete
Meta has created an open-source AI tool that designs concrete mixes that are stronger and more sustainable, expediting construction and reducing environmental impact.
Meta has developed an open-source AI tool aimed at designing concrete mixes that enhance strength and sustainability while also accelerating the curing process. This innovation is significant as it addresses the dual challenges of construction speed and environmental impact.
The AI tool utilizes Bayesian optimization, leveraging Meta’s BoTorch and Ax frameworks. This approach allows for the creation of concrete that is not only ready for use more quickly but also contributes to lower carbon emissions in construction.
