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.

Engineering Reimagined

Making better decisions in the age of distraction and AI

Trust in science and engineering has never mattered more. Aurecon's Tanya de Hoog speaks with Sir Peter Gluckman about the evolving role of science and engineering in addressing the world's most complex challenges. They discuss the value of remaining open to opportunity throughout your career, the importance of systems thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration, and how emerging technologies such as AI are reshaping the way knowledge is created and shared.

What communications skills do engineers and scientists need most right now? Recorded live at the CAETS conference, Aurecon's Lorna Bishop sits down with one of Australia's most celebrated science communicators, Tanya Ha. Together they explore how to tailor your message for different audiences, and how to leverage AI in communications without diluting personality. This episode of engineering Reimagined was recorded live at the CAETS conference.

Speaking STEM: how effective communication drives change

In this episode, Tanya de Hoog, Aurecon's Chief Engineering, Eminence and Innovation Officer, speaks with robotics expert and former geochemist Sue Keay about the intersection of robotics, human ingenuity, and the future of our planet. 

They discuss lessons from mining and manufacturing, where robotics has improved safety and unlocked unexpected efficiencies, and how these insights can be applied to construction.  

Tanya and Sue also emphasise the enduring value of human skills: creativity, judgment, and connection. Reminding us that rather than replacing people, robotics offers the potential to augment human capability at scale – if we choose to deploy it thoughtfully.
