Geoengineering – deliberately modifying the Earth’s climate – is an incredibly controversial topic. But rising temperatures and increasingly extreme weather could make trials a question of when, not if: https://t.co/scw3Rr1h76

Use of #AI in engineering could lead to reduced human oversight, according to @ProfEng readers – and that's not their only concern. Cybersecurity, bias, jobs and the skills gap are also big worries.

This is the state of AI in engineering, according to our survey – a thread 🧵

[Professional Engineering @ProfEng]

Most engineers feel positive about the introduction of #AI in the industry, according to a new poll by @ProfEng + @IMechE.

But the paths to success are riddled with danger – and many in the profession could lose out entirely: https://t.co/jzInRGvXB4

"Curiosity is key"

We spoke to @ProfBrianCox about abolishing exams, climate change, the "sheer joy" of learning, and why the study of black holes could be key for the development of quantum computers: https://t.co/oJp2BzHVP7
