Viewpoint: Can cybernetics help us better understand our design conversations with machines?

As the field of engineering continues to evolve, new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and language models are becoming increasingly important tools for structural engineers. AI and language models can provide many benefits to structural engineers, but they also come with potential risks that must be considered.

This technical lecture explores how emerging technologies are changing the engineering design landscape, resulting in a democratisation of the building process.

This lecture explores lean structural design, how to challenge a brief to reduce embodied carbon, and low-carbon structural innovation.
