Everyone forms views and perspectives. Most believe they’re right. If it ever was the case, the AI, genetics and biotech revolutions are changing all that

In the wet Spring of 1830 strange things happened to an Amsterdam bridge. After years of use, the old-style natural cement bridge was showing cracks as part of the aging process

Extraordinarily, without any human intervention, the bridge appeared to start healing itself! Local experts determined that ‘moisture from the air and something else’ had somehow unlocked this natural phenomenon

Fast forward to the early 2000s, and scientists began experimenting introducing bacteria into very small cracks in concrete. Soon they bioengineered calcium-rich mineral deposits and, hey presto, cracks up to one millimetre wide could be repaired

Reengineering micro-organisms raises the possibility of growing ‘living building materials’

University of Colorado scientists are developing a ‘combination of bacteria, hydrogen-gel, and sand’ to create bricks. Gone are the harmful processes associated with cement. One brick becomes two, in just 6 hours! Future generations will use self-generating biomaterials to literally ‘grow’ buildings

The tax world is changing too. Accountants struggle with the knowledge that AI likely can already do everything they can do, only quicker and cheaper. Realistically, the only profession that will survive the AI revolution, is the world’s oldest..
