Gareth Tolerton, Product Innovation Director at Totalmobile, discusses the importance of valuable AI skills and human co-operation as the technology grows. AI is evolving at a rapid pace, and we’re seeing a growing narrative about the future of work, often framed around job losses or sweeping automation, and the replacement of humans by machines. But the reality is more subtle and less hostile. In most industries, we’re not seeing roles replaced wholesale.

Researchers have identified a fuel cell solution that could help electrify transportation systems and overcome limitations of traditional batteries. The fuel cell packs three times as much energy per pound as today’s best electric vehicle batteries, offering a lightweight option for powering trucks, planes, or ships. In contrast to a battery, the fuel cell can be quickly refuelled rather than recharged. In this case, the fuel is liquid sodium metal, an inexpensive and widely available commodity.

Livestock, especially cows and sheep, emit significant amounts of methane emissions through enteric fermentation during digestion and from manure management. Globally, animal agriculture contributes about 32% of human-induced methane emissions. This greenhouse gas is 80+ times more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year period, making it a critical climate target. Studies show that animal health and management practices are deeply intertwined with methane levels.

Building on the UK’s new deal with the EU, plans have been launched to supercharge AI collaboration across Europe. In light of the AI collaboration, healthcare treatments, clean energy technologies, and advanced breakthroughs that could transform lives across the UK are within reach. From today, public research organisations can apply to host the UK’s AI Factory Antenna – a facility that, if approved, would link British research expertise to its advanced supercomputers across Europe.
