    AI in the built environment

    In this episode, our host Ellie Griffiths chats to Alan Mosca, co-founder and chief technology officer at nPlan – a machine learning-based platform that forecasts and predicts outcomes of construction, engineering and infrastructure projects. As well as the capability for innovation through optioneering, improving efficiency, and the flywheel that AI can give to designers, we discuss sustainability and energy consumption cost-benefit analysis, efficient AI chips of the future, and cautionary tales. Alan offers his perspective on concerns about bias in data sets, plus a new bias that he believes is soon to come, arising from models trained on the output of other models, and the risk of this ‘hallucinatory’ knowledge being perpetuated. It’s thought-provoking stuff.

    Data-led solutions for positive social change

    Imagine Eastenders without its community hotspots: the Queen Vic, the cafe, the market, the square. It’d be a lot harder for the main characters to mix, right? In this episode, Ellie Griffiths chats to Amir Hussain, the Bradford-born founder/CEO of Yeme Tech, about building inclusive communities. Amir uses his geospatial mapping platform to intelligently and compassionately bring people together in the real world – seeking out innovative built-environment solutions that inform place regeneration and facilitate connection, especially in challenged areas. Hear about his journey from traditional to tech; the localisation of place performance; the acceleration of Carlos Moreno’s 15-minute neighbourhood and surrounding criticism; ‘stranded’ buildings; ESG benchmarking, and more.
