Anywhere where there is human behavior, new methodologies of AI with machines will make a huge difference.

“The future is so complex that it is a bit like sending a ship to space. They're not going to design it the day before. It’s designed, then it’s approved.”

“Agent based modeling is broadly used in the simulation of real cities.”

“Activation and amplification exist in the cell as well as the built environment. It appears in systems like dynamic wayfinding directing train passengers to the exists in an emergency.”
