Exploring the Diverse Landscape of BIM Software in Construction: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction: In the ever-evolving field of construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a transformative technology that revolutionizes the way buildings are designed, constructed, and managed. BIM software plays a pivotal role in enhancing collaboration, improving efficiency, and minimizing errors throughout the construction process. This article delves into the various…

AI’s energy use already represents as much as 20 percent of global data-center power demand, research published Thursday in the journal Joule shows. That demand from AI, the research states, could double by the end of this year, comprising nearly half of all total data-center electricity consumption worldwide, excluding the electricity used for bitcoin mining.

The new research is published in a commentary by Alex de Vries-Gao, the founder of Digiconomist, a research company that evaluates the environmental impact of technology. De Vries-Gao started Digiconomist in the late 2010s to explore the impact of bitcoin mining, another extremely energy-intensive activity, would have on the environment. Looking at AI, he says, has grown more urgent over the past few years because of the widespread adoption of ChatGPT and other large language models that use massive amounts of energy. According to his research, worldwide AI energy demand is now set to surpass demand from bitcoin mining by the end of this year.

“The money that bitcoin miners had to get to where they are today is peanuts compared to the money that Google and Microsoft and all these big tech companies are pouring in [to AI],” he says. “This is just escalating a lot faster, and it’s a much bigger threat.”

The development of AI is already having an impact on Big Tech’s climate goals. Tech giants have acknowledged in recent sustainability reports that AI is largely responsible for driving up their energy use. Google’s greenhouse gas emissions, for instance, have increased 48 percent since 2019, complicating the company’s goals of reaching net zero by 2030.

“As we further integrate AI into our products, reducing emissions may be challenging due to increasing energy demands from the greater intensity of AI compute,” Google’s 2024 sustainability report reads.

Last month, the International Energy Agency released a report finding that data centers made up 1.5 percent of global energy use in 2024—around 415 terrawatt-hours, a little less than the yearly energy demand of Saudi Arabia. This number is only set to get bigger: Data centers’ electricity consumption has grown four times faster than overall consumption in recent years, while the amount of investment in data centers has nearly doubled since 2022, driven largely by massive expansions to account for new AI capacity. Overall, the IEA predicted that data center electricity consumption will grow to more than 900 TWh by the end of the decade.

But there’s still a lot of unknowns about the share that AI, specifically, takes up in that current configuration of electricity use by data centers. Data centers power a variety of services—like hosting cloud services and providing online infrastructure—that aren’t necessarily linked to the energy-intensive activities of AI. Tech companies, meanwhile, largely keep the energy expenditure of their software and hardware private.

Some attempts to quantify AI’s energy consumption have started from the user side: calculating the amount of electricity that goes into a single ChatGPT search, for instance. De Vries-Gao decided to look, instead, at the supply chain, starting from the production side to get a more global picture.

The high computing demands of AI, De Vries-Gao says, creates a natural “bottleneck” in the current global supply chain around AI hardware, particularly around the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the undisputed leader in producing key hardware that can handle these needs. Companies like Nvidia outsource the production of their chips to TSMC, which also produces chips for other companies like Google and AMD. (Both TSMC and Nvidia declined to comment for this article.)

De Vries-Gao used analyst estimates, earnings call transcripts, and device details to put together an approximate estimate of TSMC’s production capacity. He then looked at publicly available electricity consumption profiles of AI hardware and estimates on utilization rates of that hardware—which can vary based on what it’s being used for—to arrive at a rough figure of just how much of global data-center demand is taken up by AI. De Vries-Gao calculates that without increased production, AI will consume up to 82 terrawatt-hours of electricity this year—roughly around the same as the annual electricity consumption of a country like Switzerland. If production capacity for AI hardware doubles this year, as analysts have projected it will, demand could increase at a similar rate, representing almost half of all data center demand by the end of the year.

Despite the amount of publicly available information used in the paper, a lot of what De Vries-Gao is doing is peering into a black box: We simply don’t know certain factors that affect AI’s energy consumption, like the utilization rates of every piece of AI hardware in the world or what machine learning activities they’re being used for, let alone how the industry might develop in the future.

Sasha Luccioni, an AI and energy researcher and the climate lead at open-source machine-learning platform Hugging Face, cautioned about leaning too hard on some of the conclusions of the new paper, given the amount of unknowns at play. Luccioni, who was not involved in this research, says that when it comes to truly calculating AI’s energy use, disclosure from tech giants is crucial.

“It’s because we don’t have the information that [researchers] have to do this,” she says. “That’s why the error bar is so huge.”

And tech companies do keep this information. In 2022, Google published a paper on machine learning and electricity use, noting that machine learning was “10%–15% of Google’s total energy use” from 2019 to 2021, and predicted that with best practices, “by 2030 total carbon emissions from training will reduce.” However, since that paper—which was released before Google Gemini’s debut in 2023—Google has not provided any more detailed information about how much electricity ML uses. (Google declined to comment for this story.)

“You really have to deep-dive into the semiconductor supply chain to be able to make any sensible statement about the energy demand of AI,” De Vries-Gao says. “If these big tech companies were just publishing the same information that Google was publishing three years ago, we would have a pretty good indicator” of AI’s energy use.

[bug-the-chicken-nug]

honestly as a writer. i feel like ultimately all argument based on AI as "not real art" and "inferior quality" is gonna be doomed very soon, in a sense of like, near-to-mid future. im not some "OMG, true AGI by or before 2030!!!" over-optimist dudebro, or their cousins the doomer dudebros who watch too much Terminator and play too much Warhammer 40K (In part because determining what counts as AGI and determining what exactly it is a given person even means by AGI is kinda an inherently fucky set of questions) but like. I do feel like by 2035, AI is going to be able to make things that are often almost impossible to discern as "not real art" like when extrapolating from how much better it got in 5 years (2020 to now), even in spite of the pandemic, giving it ten to get here makes total sense to me this also is relevant to another thing: even when we project something like how much power data centers will be using, projections can in fact be wrong. they were often wrong in that they were way too conservative about estimating solar and battery adoption, for instance. especially because like. when you just talk to char.ai you are absolutely not experiencing a pinnacle of current technology. meanwhile a wealthy studio could have a highly specialized, dedicated, much higher-budget model with way more raw power, more energy-efficient hardware and software, and dedicated equipment at their disposal by 2035 which straight up doesn't worry me in regards to energy. again, many predictions about solar and battery improvements were in fact *too conservative*. and on a more fundamental level. my other beef with the argument is that like. at a certain point, when you strip away the quasi-spiritual assumptions about a human "spark" to creativity I feel my process is not all that wildly different from an AI at all in terms of the basic steps, it's just the approach that's different. like. basically it goes. 1: Something in my life or environment prompts me to have an idea 2: I pull from past data and ideas I've absorbed to flesh the idea out and give it a proper structure 3: Inevitably, the idea is essentially a recombination of what I've already seen before. The "creativity" largely boils down to presenting and recombining the data in new ways. I believe a difference arises in that humans are more able to see, discover, and speculate on new connections between data, and parse the data in a more layered, nuanced, and abstract way that generates these connections more effectively. But fundamentally, they still relied on data. Nothing really happened "ex nihilo". Therefore, I fully believe this difference is quite temporary. All of this sounds completely possible for an AI ten years from now to mimic in a way that is outwardly convincing. A sort of "parallel foresight" function, the ability to actively interpret and analyze its own outputs with multiple alternate angles/layers and extrapolate further branching trains of thought from there, then dynamically switch tracks and determine the most desired interpretation according to user feedback and guidance, seems quite doable, as resources and algorithms continue to grow cheaper and more efficient. In theory, this would naturally integrate well with more progress in maximizing efficiency in compressing AI memory, and having AI go reference past topics and external information only when the finer detail is actually necessary. Thus, the "parallel foresight" can be done far more efficiently.

And thus result in a system that effectively is, in fact, being creative. Because creativity is likely just... not actually as special as a lot of us like to assume.

GWitch Onscreen Text: Episode 7

This is part eight of my attempt to transcribe and discuss all the monitor text in g witch! Because I got worms! We're on episode 7, "Shall We Gundam?"

Now then. Shall we? (Gundam?)

Not text, but in the opening, Vim tells the Peil Witches that it's despicable of them to breach the Cathedra Agreement, only for one of them to respond that she believes he would know something about that himself. This is our first hint towards the existence of the Schwarzette.

Now to the real text, we see a mockup of the Pharact of it's systems in this opening as well.

Here, we see that the Pharact is 19.1m and 57.1t.

The Blue and Red labels are tough to make out, but they each respectively say the same thing. I'll make my best guess: Blue labels: G-O | SYS-GUND CHH Red Labels: GUND FORMAT | CORAX UNITS

The Corax Units are the name of the Pharacts GUND Bits, and we know those use the Gund Format, so that checks. We saw 'CHH' on 4's data graph, still not sure what it means though.

I think the floating red text says GA - MS//RACT, but I can't be sure. The big label in the center says GUND-ARM FP/A-77.

Not text, but I think Sarius and Delling is another relationship I wish we got to see more of. Delling actually worked directly under Sarius within Grassley before eventually becoming President of the entire Group.

During the scene in the greenhouse, we get a look at the program on Miorine's monitor. No way to read the actual text on it from this shot, but we do see Miorine verify the name of one of the brands of fertilizer before presumably typing it on the screen, so it's probably safe to assume it's tracking the general maintenance of the tomatoes.

We never get a completely clear shot of the Incubation Party Invitation (Because it just can never be easy) But I'll make my best estimate of it from the shots we DO get.

TEXT: SUBJECT: INCUBATION EVENT PARTY INVITATION & APPLICATION GUIDELINES FROM: BENERIT GROUP PROTOCOL MANAGEMENT OFFICE

INVITATION The Benerit Group has the great honor of inviting you to the 15th Incubation Event.

Off topic but this scene has one of my favorite Miorine Noises in the whole show. It's so good. Take a listen. She is Flabbergasted.

TEXT: 15th INCUBATION EVENT PARTY Hosted by BENERIT GROUP

Pretty...

The Mobile Suits on display aren't named, but the one in the back right is actually the YOASOBI Collaboration Version of the Demi Trainer.

(YOASOBI are the musical duo that composed Shukufuku)

I wont bore you with a 1 to 1 transcription of the text of this first presentation, so here's the general overview.

This is PRESENTATION No. 001 for the Incubation Party from TENGRIFF SOLUTIONS. They're asking for 100,000,000 to develop an INTEGRATED FIRE CONTROL SOFTWARE. What that means generally is that they want to develop a software that can automatically correct/redirect an MS's aim to a specific target, in both Individual and Team based MS Operations. The benefits of this system are: AUTO TRAJECTORY CORRECTION AUTO CORIOLIS CORRECTION AUTO GRAVITY CORRECTION FIRE CONTROL FORMS BATTALION HIGH SPEED TARGET DATA LINK HIGH PERFORMANCE SPOTTING SYSTEM ALL ENVIRONMENT CONTROL SYSTEM

Unfortunately this project did not meet the 75% formation requirement and DIED

Funny Shaddiq Expression. I don't think he ever makes a face like this for the rest of the series.

[Pointing] One of the two times throughout the series we see any pat of Notrette. The only other time is in the second season opening.

We see VIM JETURK on Lauda's screen when he's calling him. (The "Accept" button actually darkens when Lauda taps it)

This scene is our first look into Nika's role as a go between for Shaddiq, and also how it'll be a main point of conflict between her and Martin, as he's the one who sees the two of them talking.

(Also, Shaddiq has a habit of abruptly lowering the tone of his voice to signify a change in his demeanor. If you ever rewatch the series again, try and listen for it ! He does it all the time)

TEXT (Top to Bottom) BENERIT GROUP NETWORK CONNECTION ^ ACCESS REQUEST ACCESS POINT: STAGE SCREEN LINE CODE: 2915.455X.eX STATUS: APPROVAL PENDING LINE CODE: Yds2.4006.40 LINE CODE: 2945.Rr50.52 LINE CODE: KL40.024c.R2

Miorine's phone when she requests access to the Stage Screen

When she gets approved and begins connecting, her phone displays this loading screen called SYNCHRONIZE

And the stage screen is displaying that same loading screen for a split second before fully connecting.

Miorine explains what this all means in the show proper, so I feel it'd be redundant to explain it, but here's the presentation anyhow.

We also see the UI of the program Mio is using in the presentation. She only uses the MEMO tab, but we see that there's a TEXT and PICT tab as well.

When Miorine takes the phone back from Delling, the investment status has reached 3%, meaning he invested 7,200,000,000 in the company. Mama Mia !

Business Successfully Formed!

But it seems that they only reached the bare minimum amount, 75%. So of the 240,000,000,000, she requested, the company earned at LEAST 180,000,000,000

We also see that Miorine’s presentation is only the 5th one of the night.

And that's all! Thank you very much! Unfortunately I can't leave anymore images because I've somehow reached the image limit :(

Instead I leave you with this: Go back and watch the scene where Miorine and Suletta see Prospera and Godoy. After the scene where Suletta greets him, they keep drawing his face wrong. Okay! Goodbye....!

The Evolution of BIM: From 2D Drafting to 7D BIM

The construction industry has witnessed a remarkable transformation over the past few decades, driven by technological advancements. One of the most significant innovations is Building Information Modeling (BIM). What started as simple 2D drafting has evolved into a comprehensive system encompassing multiple dimensions. From design to maintenance, BIM has revolutionized the way we plan, construct, and manage buildings. In this blog, we will explore the journey of BIM from its early days to the highly advanced 7D BIM we see today.

The Era of 2D Drafting: The Beginning

Before the advent of BIM, architects, engineers, and designers relied on 2D drafting techniques. Blueprints and technical drawings were manually created on paper, requiring immense precision and effort. The introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) in the 1960s and 1970s brought a significant shift, allowing professionals to create digital 2D drawings. However, these drawings remained static representations, often leading to errors, miscommunication, and time-consuming revisions. The lack of data integration meant that project information was scattered, leading to inefficiencies in project execution and management.

Moreover, 2D drafting required extensive manual labor for each stage of the design process. Any changes in the design had to be redrawn from scratch, consuming valuable time. Coordination between different teams was also challenging, as changes in one discipline often led to inconsistencies in others. Errors were only discovered during construction, resulting in costly rework and delays. Additionally, quantity take-offs and bill of materials (BOM) had to be calculated manually, increasing the risk of miscalculations and cost overruns.

The Transition to 3D Modeling: A Game Changer

The limitations of 2D drafting led to the development of 3D modeling. In the late 20th century, software like AutoCAD, Revit, and ArchiCAD introduced the concept of three-dimensional design. 3D modeling provided a more realistic and detailed representation of structures, improving visualization and coordination among stakeholders. Architects and engineers could now see their designs in a virtual environment before construction began, allowing for better planning and reducing costly errors.

Unlike 2D drawings, 3D models allowed for a more intuitive understanding of spatial relationships. Teams could detect clashes between different systems, such as plumbing and electrical, before construction, leading to a significant reduction in errors. However, despite the added dimension, it still lacked data integration and intelligence, as it mainly focused on geometry rather than project information management. At this stage, Level of Development (LOD) concepts started emerging, enabling different stakeholders to define and refine the details of the BIM model at different stages of the project lifecycle.

4D BIM: Adding the Time Dimension

The next breakthrough in BIM came with the introduction of the fourth dimension: time. 4D BIM integrates project scheduling with 3D models, enabling stakeholders to visualize the construction sequence over time. This advancement improved project planning, reduced delays, and enhanced collaboration among teams. Contractors could simulate different scenarios, identify potential bottlenecks, and optimize construction workflows.

By linking the construction timeline to the 3D model, project managers could anticipate potential issues, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure smoother project execution. 4D BIM allowed teams to see when each component of the project would be constructed, facilitating better coordination between trades and minimizing on-site conflicts. As a result, construction projects became more predictable, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.

5D BIM: Incorporating Cost Management

Cost estimation has always been a critical aspect of construction projects. 5D BIM brought financial management into the equation by linking cost data with the 3D model and project schedule. This integration provided accurate cost forecasting, real-time budget updates, and improved decision-making. Stakeholders could analyze cost variations, track expenses, and ensure financial control throughout the project lifecycle.

With 5D BIM, cost estimators and project managers could evaluate different design alternatives and their financial impact, ultimately helping in budget optimization and cost-effective decision-making. Cost changes due to material choices, design modifications, or construction sequences could be assessed in real time, preventing budget overruns. Automated quantity take-offs became more efficient and accurate, ensuring that project cost estimates aligned closely with actual construction costs. This real-time tracking of costs made construction more financially transparent, ensuring stakeholders had a clear understanding of budget allocations at every stage.

6D BIM: Enhancing Sustainability and Facility Management

As sustainability became a key focus in the construction industry, 6D BIM emerged to address environmental concerns. This dimension incorporates energy analysis, lifecycle assessment, and sustainability metrics into BIM models. Building owners and facility managers can use 6D BIM to optimize energy efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and plan for long-term maintenance.

Additionally, it aids in predictive maintenance by providing insights into building performance over time. With real-time data and simulations, sustainability goals such as energy efficiency, material durability, and operational cost reductions can be achieved, ensuring environmentally responsible building designs. Green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM can be seamlessly integrated into the BIM model, allowing for data-driven decision-making in sustainability planning.

By leveraging 6D BIM, facility managers can track energy consumption, perform preventive maintenance, and monitor the building’s carbon footprint. It enables owners to make data-driven decisions that enhance the building’s efficiency and extend its lifespan, ultimately leading to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. COBie (Construction-Operations Building Information Exchange) standards also play a critical role at this stage, ensuring that asset data is structured and efficiently transferred for use in facility management.

7D BIM: The Future of Building Management

The most advanced stage of BIM, 7D BIM, integrates facility management with real-time data. It allows stakeholders to manage the entire lifecycle of a building, from design to demolition.

On April 15, U.S. chipmaker Nvidia published a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that the government has restricted the company from selling its less advanced graphics processing unit (GPU)—the H20—to China. The company is now required to obtain a license from the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security to sell the H20 and any other chips “achieving the H20’s memory bandwidth, interconnect bandwidth, or combination thereof” to China, according to the filing.

Similarly, a filing from AMD stated that the firm is now restricted from selling its MI308 GPU to China—and likely any chips that have equal or higher performance in the future. Intel’s artificial intelligence accelerator Gaudi will also be restricted under the new control threshold, which reportedly appears to limit chips with total DRAM bandwidth of 1,400 gigabytes per second or more, input/output bandwidth of 1,100 GB per second or more, or a total of both of 1,700 GB per second or more.

The possible new threshold not only restricts the advanced chips that were already controlled but also the less advanced chips from Nvidia, AMD, and other chipmakers, including Nvidia’s H20, AMD’s MI308X, and Intel’s Gaudi, which were used to comply with the export control threshold and intended primarily for sale in the Chinese market.

The new restriction came roughly a week after NPR reported that the Trump administration had decided to back off on regulating the H20. Prior to that report, curbs on the H20 and chips with comparable performance had been widely anticipated by analysts on Wall Street, industry experts in Silicon Valley, and policy circles in Washington.

The latest set of chip controls could be seen as following on from export restrictions during the Biden administration and as continuation of the Trump administration’s efforts to limit China’s access to advanced AI hardware. But the new measure carries far-reaching industry implications that could fundamentally reshape the landscape of China’s AI chip market.

The impact of the new rule on the industry is profound. With the new controls, Nvidia is estimated to immediately lose about $15 billion to $16 billion, according to a J.P. Morgan analysis. AMD, on the other hand, faces $1.5 billion to 1.8 billion in lost revenue, accounting for roughly 10 percent of its estimated data center revenue this year.

Yet the implications go beyond immediate financial damage. If the restriction persists, it will fundamentally reshape the Chinese AI chip market landscape and mark the start of a broader retreat for U.S. AI accelerators from China. That includes not only GPU manufacturers such as Nvidia, AMD, and Intel but also firms providing application-specific integrated circuits—another type of chips targeting specific AI workloads, such as Google’s TPU and Amazon Web Servies’ Trainium.

The new rule will make it nearly impossible for U.S. firms such as Nvidia and AMD to design and sell chips that are export-compliant and competitive in the Chinese market. That means these firms’ market share in the Chinese AI chip market will decline over time, as they are forced to withdraw almost all of their offerings of both advanced and less advanced chips while Chinese firms gradually capture the remaining market.

The H20 and the upgraded H20E are already only marginally ahead of their Chinese competitors. Huawei’s latest AI chip Ascend 910C delivers 2.6 times the computational performance of the H20, although it offers 20 percent less memory bandwidth, which is vital for the inference training and reasoning models that are a key part of modern AI.

The H20’s memory bandwidth, along with Nvidia’s widely adopted software stack, a parallel computing platform and programming model that enables efficient GPU utilization for AI, high-performance computing, and scientific workloads, have been key differentiators driving demand from Chinese AI firms and keeping them competitive in the Chinese market. China acquired more than 1 million units of the H20 in 2024 and has been stockpiling the chip in response to looming concerns about controls since early 2025.

The narrowing gap between the H20 and Huawei’s 910C highlights the growing ability of Chinese AI chipmakers to meet domestic compute demand without foreign GPUs. As of today, Huawei’s 910C is in mass production, with units already delivered to customers and broader mass shipments reportedly starting in May. Most recently, Huawei is reportedly approaching customers about testing its enhanced version of the 910-series GPU—the 910D. Its next-generation chip—the Ascend 920—is expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2025.

Notably, Huawei is just one of many Chinese firms poised to fill the gap left by U.S. suppliers. Chinese AI chip companies such as Cambricon, Hygon, Enflame, Iluvatar CoreX, Biren, and Moore Threads are actively developing more competitive domestic AI chips to capture this expanding market.

Over the next few years, Chinese firms such as Alibaba, ByteDance, Baidu, and Tencent will likely continue to rely on existing inventories of Nvidia and AMD chips—such as the H100, H200, H800, and H20—acquired prior to the implementation of export controls. For example, ByteDance’s current GPU inventory in China is rumored to include 16,000-17,000 units of the A100, 60,000 units of the A800, and 24,000-25,000 units of the H800. Its overseas businesses likely have more than 20,000 units of the H100, 270,000 of the H20, and tens of thousands of cards such as the L20 and L40.

Advanced chips, including the limited amount of Nvidia’s Blackwell-series GPUs, may also continue entering the Chinese market via illicit or gray-market channels, given the enduring performance advantage and wide adoption of these chips over most Chinese domestic alternatives. The Blackwell GPUs and other cutting-edge chips could still be sold legally to the oversea data centers of leading Chinese AI companies to potentially train their AI models.

Similarly, other leading Chinese AI firms still possess significant chip stockpiles. Assuming export controls continue to restrict Chinese AI companies’ access to advanced computing resources, existing GPU inventories should still enable model development over the next several years. Typically, GPUs have a four- to five-year depreciation lifecycle, providing a window during which Chinese domestic GPU manufacturers can advance their capabilities and begin supplying more competitive chips to support domestic AI development.

Ultimately, time is now on the Chinese firms’ side. As inventories of foreign GPUs gradually depreciate and become obsolete, Chinese firms are expected to shift toward and adopt more domestically produced AI chips to meet ongoing compute needs at a time when local chipmakers offer more powerful alternatives. China’s overall computing demand will steadily rise, given the continued advancement of the AI industry, and such incremental growth in demand will likely be met by Chinese AI chipmakers.

As a result, the tens of billions of dollars in revenue that would have gone to Nvidia and AMD will be gradually captured by Chinese AI firms in the coming years. In a rough assessment, the latest ban causes Nvidia and AMD instant losses of about $16.5 billion to $17.8 billion—about 70 percent of what Huawei spent on research and development in 2024.

This new market paradigm will not only strengthen the market position and financial sustainability of domestic Chinese AI chipmakers but also enhance their capacity to reinvest in R&D. In turn, this will accelerate innovation, improve competitiveness, and fortify China’s broader AI hardware supply chain—ultimately contributing to the long-term resilience and advancement of Chinese AI capabilities.

More importantly, the growing domestic adoption of Chinese GPUs enables local firms to refine their products more efficiently through accelerated and larger feedback loops from local enterprises. As the Nvidia-led GPU ecosystem stalls and gradually retreats from the Chinese market, this shift creates space for local players to build a domestic GPU ecosystem—one that may increasingly lock out foreign competitors and raise re-entry barriers over time.

A total ban on the H20 would likely slow China’s short-term growth in AI compute capacity by removing a key source of advanced chips. But the medium- to longer-term impact is less clear. Chinese AI companies, as previously noted, remain very capable of developing their AI by using a large number of existing Nvidia and AMD GPUs for the next few years, alongside a growing supply of improving domestic alternatives. The U.S. leadership’s ultimate goal of using export controls to constrain China’s AI development remains uncertain, as the gap between the two countries’ AI model capabilities appears to be narrowing rather than widening.

What is clear, however, is the broader industry impact of the new controls. If sustained, they will mark the beginning of a major withdrawal of U.S. AI chipmakers from the Chinese market—paving the way for a significant boost to domestic Chinese AI chipmakers. In trying to isolate China, the United States may end up giving Chinese firms a leg up.

India’s Tech Sector to Create 1.2 Lakh AI Job Vacancies in Two Years

India’s technology sector is set to experience a hiring boom with job vacancies for artificial intelligence (AI) roles projected to reach 1.2 lakh over the next two years. As the demand for AI latest technology increases across industries, companies are rapidly adopting advanced tools to stay competitive. These new roles will span across tech services, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), pure-play AI and analytics firms, startups, and product companies.

Following a slowdown in tech hiring, the focus is shifting toward the development of AI. Market analysts estimate that Indian companies are moving beyond Proof of Concept (PoC) and deploying large-scale AI systems, generating high demand for roles such as AI researchers, product managers, and data application specialists. “We foresee about 120,000 to 150,000 AI-related job vacancies emerging as Indian IT services ramp up AI applications,” noted Gaurav Vasu, CEO of UnearthInsight.

India currently has 4 lakh AI professionals, but the gap between demand and supply is widening, with job requirements expected to reach 6 lakh soon. By 2026, experts predict the number of AI specialists required will hit 1 million, reflecting the deep integration of AI latest technology into industries like healthcare, e-commerce, and manufacturing.

The transition to AI-driven operations is also altering the nature of job vacancies. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, artificial intelligence positions focus on advanced algorithms, automation, and machine learning. Companies are recruiting experts in fields like deep learning, robotics, and natural language processing to meet the growing demand for innovative AI solutions. The development of AI has led to the rise of specialised roles such as Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, and Prompt Engineers.

Krishna Vij, Vice President of TeamLease Digital, remarked that new AI roles are evolving across industries as AI latest technology becomes an essential tool for product development, operations, and consulting. “We expect close to 120,000 new job vacancies in AI across different sectors like finance, healthcare, and autonomous systems,” he said.

AI professionals also enjoy higher compensation compared to their traditional tech counterparts. Around 80% of AI-related job vacancies offer premium salaries, with packages 40%-80% higher due to the limited pool of trained talent. “The low availability of experienced AI professionals ensures that artificial intelligence roles will command attractive pay for the next 2-3 years,” noted Krishna Gautam, Business Head of Xpheno.

Candidates aiming for AI roles need to master key competencies. Proficiency in programming languages like Python, R, Java, or C++ is essential, along with knowledge of AI latest technology such as large language models (LLMs). Expertise in statistics, machine learning algorithms, and cloud computing platforms adds value to applicants. As companies adopt AI latest technology across domains, candidates with critical thinking and  AI adaptability will stay ahead so it is important to learn and stay updated with AI informative blogs & news.

Although companies are prioritising experienced professionals for mid-to-senior roles, entry-level job vacancies are also rising, driven by the increased use of AI in enterprises. Bootcamps, certifications, and academic programs are helping freshers gain the skills required for artificial intelligence roles. As AI development progresses, entry-level roles are expected to expand in the near future. AI is reshaping the industries providing automation & the techniques to save time , to increase work efficiency. 

India’s tech sector is entering a transformative phase, with a surge in job vacancies linked to AI latest technology adoption. The next two years will witness fierce competition for AI talent, reshaping hiring trends across industries and unlocking new growth opportunities in artificial intelligence. Both startups and established companies are racing to secure talent, fostering a dynamic landscape where artificial intelligence expertise will be help in innovation and growth. AI will help organizations and businesses to actively participate in new trends.

A TMS simplifies the process of selecting and managing carriers. It provides access to a database of carriers, allows for rate comparisons, and facilitates carrier negotiations. This feature ensures that businesses can choose the best carriers based on cost, service quality, and performance metrics.

Cost Reduction:

A TMS helps businesses reduce transportation costs through route optimization, carrier management, and efficient freight auditing. By streamlining these processes, companies can achieve significant savings on fuel, labor, and other transportation-related expenses.

Improved Efficiency:

By automating routine tasks and providing real-time visibility, a TMS enhances operational efficiency. Businesses can reduce manual paperwork, minimize errors, and speed up the decision-making process, leading to smoother and more efficient logistics operations.

Enhanced Customer Service:

With real-time tracking and accurate delivery estimates, a TMS improves customer satisfaction. Customers can receive timely updates on their shipments, leading to greater transparency and trust in the delivery process.

Better Decision-Making:

The data and insights provided by a TMS enable businesses to make informed decisions. Analyzing transportation performance and cost data helps in identifying areas for improvement, optimizing supply chain strategies, and enhancing overall operational performance.

Scalability and Flexibility:

A TMS is designed to scale with your business. Whether you’re expanding operations, adding new transportation modes, or entering new markets, a TMS can adapt to changing needs and support growth.

 Choose Right TMS of Your Business

When selecting a TMS, it’s important to consider your specific needs and objectives. Look for a system that aligns with your business size, industry requirements, and budget. Key factors to evaluate include ease of integration with existing systems, user-friendliness, customer support, and the scalability of the solution.
