16:30 – 17:00	Panel Discussion Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Robotics “Overcoming Deployment Hurdles in Optimising Technology” In today’s world, multiple industries are leveraging the benefits of AI & Robotics to fullest of its potential. The technology has helped businesses grow in leaps and bounds with improved quality, security, and efficiency. However, it is observed that the engineering and construction sectors are lagging in implementing AI & Robotics solutions. Due to the complex challenges that the construction industry faces, the growth in the industry is severely limited. Dealing with challenges like cost and time overruns, labor shortage, health and safety, and productivity can bring revolution in the industry. The construction industry has tremendous potential, and AI & Robotics can be instrumental in bringing this shift. 3 questions arise: Will AI & Robotics replace Humans at work? How can the current workforce prepare for the arrival of new innovations? What is the Future of Work?
17:00	Closing Comments APARA
