I am Harish Babry. I am a Manager at Hill International, an Engineering Consultancy. My work is focused on managing the engineering of railway systems.

During my spare time, I have been exploring ways to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve problems faced by organizations due to a shortage of skilled workers across fields such as Oil & Gas, Railways, Mining and other heavy industries where AI can automate engineering and project management tasks. I have been working with Artificial Intelligence for the last seven years. The objective is to develop software that will allow engineers to perform tasks such as designing, drawing, and drafting bills of quantities (BoQ) on their own.

I became interested in AI E (alias Virtual Robots) because there were many instances in which tasks in a complex project that were normally performed by humans could be automated. Human labour is currently being replaced by machines that are more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective than humans. The idea of replacing human labour with machines intrigues me since it would allow engineers to focus on creative tasks rather than repetitive ones. The use of Machine learning will enhance the capabilities of engineers in any organization, enabling them to complete more work while spending less time on mundane tasks, such as data entry, calculations, etc.
