Concrete is one of the most widely used and important materials in the world. It is essential for building infrastructure, improving human development, and providing shelter. However, it also has a huge environmental impact, as it accounts for about 8% of the global CO2 emissions due to the use of cement, its main ingredient.

But what if there was a way to make concrete more sustainable and profitable at the same time?

What if we could use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to optimize the design of concrete mixtures, reduce the amount of cement, and lower the cost and the carbon footprint of concrete production?

That is exactly what Concrete.ai, a company founded by Alex Hall, is doing.

We had a thorough deepdive into the vision, the concrete manufacturing technologies, and the challenges of transforming the concrete industry with AI.
