China's new feat... World's tallest dam built using AI
China is known for its technology and science. Chinese scientists often create affordable and sustainable projects. But now they have achieved something that has astonished everyone. China has built an entire dam using AI and digital twin technology.
It's said to be the first of its kind in the world, and the energy generated can power 180,000 American homes for a year.

World's tallest dam built using AI
This dam, built in China's Xinjiang region, is the world's first dam to be built using AI and digital twin technology. The Dashaxia dam began storing water on Saturday. It is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Kumarak River in Xinjiang's Aksu Province.
World's Tallest Dam
Designed by the state-owned China Energy Engineering Corporation, this dam is the world's tallest concrete-face rockfill dam. Its height is 247 meters (810 feet), which according to Chinese media is approximately equivalent to an 80-story building.

This type of dam consists of a large mass of solid rock or gravel built to hold water, topped by a concrete slab. Over the past few decades, this dam design has become a favorite because it is considered safe, cost-effective, and suitable for tall structures.
There is no such dam in the world
According to the Saudi China Morning Post, the Dashxia project is the first dam of its kind in the world to be built using AI. It also does not require human operation.
It has been installed with unmanned operation systems. According to state media, the project uses digital twin, AI, and blockchain technology to overcome seismic and geological challenges.
How much electricity will this dam generate?
When completed next year, the dam will have a storage capacity of 1.17 billion cubic meters, providing water to more than 533,000 hectares of agricultural land in the Aksu River Basin and Tarim River Basin. The dam is also expected to aid in flood control measures and reduce the incidence of severe flooding.
Summary
With a total capacity of 750,000 kilowatts, it will also generate approximately 1.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. This energy is estimated to be enough to power approximately 180,000 American homes for a year.
