How can we make better decisions in an era defined by distraction, cognitive bias, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence? In the second instalment of this two-part series, Aurecon’s Todd Battley continues his thought-provoking conversation with Professor Jason Mattingley from the Queensland Brain Institute.

How can we make better decisions in an era defined by distraction, cognitive bias, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence? In the second instalment of this two-part series, Aurecon&rsquo;s Todd Battley continues his thought-provoking conversation with Professor Jason Mattingley from the Queensland Brain Institute.

The Engineering Reimagined podcast explores how, like engineers, people from all walks of life are reimagining the future and their roles in it. Each month you'll hear inspiring stories from a range of guests as we reimagine how engineering can lead the world to a better future.

Technology for people, planet and progress: 2025 season insights

How can we match the right technologies to the right problems, while balancing speed with quality, and prioritising human factors that shape meaningful progress? Aurecon's Chief Operating Officer, Scott Powell, speaks with Professor Marcus Holgersson from Chalmers University of Technology. Together they explore the interplay between risk, innovation, efficiency and adoption, and how organisations can repeatedly unlock new value safely, be that through AI or other technologies.
