Also, existing office utility plant may simply be too old, inefficient, or unreliable for lab use, making upgrades necessary..
Whose do we use?These decisions have real-life implications.. ‘We better be sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose we really desire,’ Norbert Weiner stated in 1960..
In 2021, Stewart Russell OBE (Professor of Computer Science, University of California, Berkeley) in his Reith Lectures expressed some principles that he had co-developed to make the development of AI positive and safe.. Altruism – AI is there solely to improve human outcomes and purpose.Uncertainty – the objectives, purpose and outcomes will remain uncertain.Learning from humans – there needs to be a dynamic process, constantly checking back and developing understanding.. Why is this important?
Russell asks you to imagine that you have a robot looking after your children.You give it the clear purpose of keeping the children safe and fed with home cooked food.
All sounds great.
The robot goes to the cupboard and fridge and sees that there is no food in the house.Recently, we have applied Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in a project for the rapid DfMA construction of storage and distribution facilities, building flexible, digital models that can represent both the on-site assembly sequences and the supply chain operations for the construction of multiple sites in Europe.
In doing so we can validate and optimise the construction programme whilst also gaining insights into frequency and pattern of deliveries.This data can then be used to optimise stock quantities and locations, as well as discover any potential bottlenecks and options for alleviating these, to support the most efficient build sequence.. Bryden Wood has successfully applied these techniques to Platform construction (P-DfMA) and continues to do so for large clients.
In using these Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) methodologies and tools we can slowly aid transformation and delivery value whilst addressing some of the most pressing sector and global issues which are faced today..
