[KavithaV @kavithav_]

@mrnoumanarif Not yet, I still check that on site myself 🏗️ Tracking whether each issue has been fixed is the next step I am working towards, so nothing slips through between the drawings and the build.

[KavithaV @kavithav_]

Saturday night and I am still thinking about building sites 🏗️

As a structural engineer and developer, I have spent years on sites like this. Now "Bob the Builder" works beside me. He is my construction bot, with a specific role in my business, and he is trained to master it: plans, schedules and every detail on site.

[KavithaV @kavithav_]

@mrnoumanarif Thank you. The first job was going through the drawings of a site under construction and listing any issues to look out for on site 🏗️ Everything still needs to be checked, but it is a second pair of eyes on things I may not have picked up on.

AI is already protecting Australians from fraud.

CommBank's AI sends over 40,000 scam warnings a day. NAB customers cancelled $195 million in payments after real time scam alerts.

AI can help prevent crime, not just respond to it 🔐

@fordsmith @YIMBYLAND @americanhousing I was due to visit Austin for affordable housing work in 2024, though it did not go ahead. I would love the chance to come next time 🏡.

[KavithaV @kavithav_]

@fordsmith @elonmusk @spacexai @bot Thank you, Ford. Each @bot has a specific role in my business and keeps learning how to master that area. It is quite transformative for any business 🔧"

[KavithaV @kavithav_]

"Doctor Who" is my robotics and inventions bot 🤖

I conceive the ideas and develop the prototypes. She supports me in testing, refining and improving each design 🔧💡

Could AI help keep women safe?

Used carefully, it might help services spot patterns sooner, connect women with support faster and take some of the load off frontline workers.

The technology has to protect women, never put them at more risk 💜

[KavithaV @kavithav_]

Technology should make women safer, not less safe.

Safer phones, better privacy settings and quicker ways to ask for help can make a real difference for women living with family violence.

Safety has to be built in from the start 🔐
