Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The cherry blossoms in Iwakura City are probably about 2 to 3 minutes into bloom today.
This spring is still going to be a long one, lol
But that's beside the point.
I've been thinking a lot lately that,What should the future of the slope construction industry look like?
What kind of slope construction company do you think will survive?
I've been thinking lately.
Over the years, I’ve seen all kinds of slope contractors. (From a supervisory standpoint)
With that in mind, I’ve been thinking a lot about what kind of slope engineer I should become in the future.
What kind of slope contractor will be needed in the years to come?
Hey everyone, do any of you have experiences like that?
I haven't come up with an answer myself yet, but I have a vague idea.
- Just a road maintenance worker who’s only concerned with having enough to eat for tomorrow?
- A slope contractor who hones their skills even further and uses that expertise to land more and more jobs?
- A slope construction company that keeps hiring people and sending them out to all kinds of job sites?
- A slope contractor who can handle everything—from anchors to the entire slope?
- Just a slope maintenance company?
- A broker?
- Nah, I'm just an office worker, so I don't do that kind of thing lol
- "As long as I can just do the work assigned by the general contractor for the set price, that's good enough," and so on.
I think it's good that everyone has different opinions, and "Enta is writing nonsense again."
But that's okay.
However, what matters is what kind of person I want to become in the future, and I don't care how others criticize me for it.
Of course, I've had my share of failures in my personal life, too.
Like an office worker who got into a fight with his boss and got demoted, or a site supervisor who got into a fight with some jerk of an official (in Gifu Prefecture) and got banned from the government office, or
Or that after starting the business, they used subcontractors just to maximize their own profits.
So here I am, regretting it. (I really think I'm a terrible person, lol.)
With that in mind, we’ll consider what the future should look like and what kind of slope maintenance specialists are needed.
We reflect on various things after we fail.
However,The reason I'm writing this is that,
It is said that by 2029—12 years from now—AI (artificial intelligence) will surpass human intelligence.
Do you know what the AI's IQ was at that time?
Can you imagine that?
Our IQs are, at best, around 100—even a slightly eccentric genius would only be around 120, right?

If it exceeds 10,000,！・・・・・
We humans are worse than trash, aren't we? lol
They never fail. That’s because they’re programmed to make human mistakes.
There's no such thing as an "AI error"—only human error.
So what that means is, you won't need the director's expertise anymore.
A world where national certifications won’t matter at all is coming in 12 years.
English education? What's that?? Smartphones solve everything, right?? What are you talking about??
That's how it works.
The question is, what should we, as slope engineers, do in that situation?
What kind of slope construction company can work alongside AI?
Naturally, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is promoting the I-construction initiative.
What that means is that, eventually, there will be no need for heavy equipment operators.
The point is, surveying can now be done with AI and drones, right?
I think we should at least give some thought to the fact that we shouldn't take slope work lightly just because it's done by hand...
Since early spring is a time when it’s easy to zone out, why not take a moment to think about the relationship between AI and slopes?
You should be able to sleep really, really well, right? lol
See you later.
