According to him in recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changing technology that is altering a variety of industries, including land surveying.
He added that AI is changing the field of land surveying with its ability to analyze massive volumes of data, understand complex patterns, and automate repetitive activities, providing unparalleled efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

“Traditional land surveying methods frequently requires time-consuming manual data gathering and analysis that was prone to human error.”
