- Season 8 Episode 6 AI Bridges Japan's Infrastructure Maintenance Gap: Civil Engineering Innovators - Morikawa Haruna

With most built during the rapid economic growth of the mid–late 20th century, many are potentially in need of maintenance, but without the personnel to conduct the necessary checks.
