These imaginations of self-thinking machines were interesting, amusing, and at times creepy and threatening.. As AI enters a new realm where there are artificial systems that can make independent decisions, a light has been thrown on as much about the guiding purpose, ethics, and morals of such systems, as the technological capability..

Jaimie Johnston MBE., or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.. Industrialised Construction is no longer optional.

Amy and Jaimie emphasised that the shift towards industrialised construction is not just a trend—it’s a necessity.With growing pressures from sustainability goals, workforce challenges, and cost efficiency demands, traditional construction methods are proving inadequate.The conversation highlighted how industrialised processes, including productisation and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), are essential for addressing these challenges and meeting future demands.. 2.. Productisation is the next frontier.

The discussion introduced the concept of.—treating components of construction as standardised products rather than one-off custom solutions.

Amy argued that productisation enables consistency, scalability, and better integration across projects, creating a foundation for innovation.

She pointed out that productisation is not just about manufacturing but also about enabling architects and engineers to focus on what matters most: creative, high-value design.. 3..Together, renewables plus advanced nuclear (with thermal energy storage) can reduce emissions and improve performance in future electricity grids, lowering overall system cost.. 9.

Current and emerging advanced heat sources (new generation nuclear reactors) can do more than just provide reliable, clean electricity.They can offer added flexibility for power grids, decarbonise heating and industrial processes, and produce low-cost hydrogen and synthetic fuels..

According to the Expert Group on Resource Management of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, nuclear energy is an ‘indispensable tool’ for achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs).It will have a crucial role in providing affordable energy and climate change mitigation, as well as eliminating poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water, economic growth and industry innovation.. 10.
