This edition is packed with AI, though notably not designed by it – some things, we believe, are best left to humans.
Our cover story takes us to Copenhagen, where we meet the brilliant minds at Danfoss, an engineering firm innovating climate control in buildings since the 1930s. Now, in partnership with AWS, they’re dramatically reducing emissions from buildings using just the power of data and AI.
Elsewhere, we explore both the promise and peril of AI: from personalized education, climate solutions, and bridging the digital divide – as demonstrated by researchers at the University of Plymouth – to the scourge of AI-generated misinformation and students learning to using AI to avoid thinking for themselves.
