Computer scientists at the University of the West of England are developing software that uses AI and machine learning to help construction companies reduce the amount of embodied carbon in their building and infrastructure projects. Dr Lukman Akanbi explains how the project could help the UK achieve its net zero targetshttps://www.pbctoday.co.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/dreamstime_m_159515752.jpg2000833
