3D printing and AI let Chinese engineers build 590-foot-tall dam without builders

China is ready to build a hydropower dam in two years using artificial intelligence, construction robots, and zero human labor, scientists involved in the project said.

This new dam on the Tibetan plateau will be built layer by layer, like with 3D printing.

If and when it is completed, the ambitious project will likely be the world's tallest structure built using 3D printing processes, AP reports.
