The PPP is transformational and really gives us a platform to look at how things are done, how they could be done differently and challenge each other to come up with better solutions,” she explains. It’s interesting to see how the GPT-3 Transformer AI program was able to generate a compelling essay on the topic of “learning styles”. The essay provides a well-organized and evidence-based argument, despite being generated by an AI language model. I particularly like how it explores the idea that learning styles are not fixed, and can be influenced by personal and environmental factors. Riseam Sharples was created in 1997 by three highly experienced lawyers. The original partners included Colin Riseam (formerly of Farrer & Co), Clive Sharples (formerly of Forsyte Kerman) and David Fok, who was then a Senior Consultant at Cheung, Chan & Chung based in Hong Kong. The original firm was named Riseam Sharples & Fok. If Transformer AI systems have a lasting influence on education, maybe that will come from educators and policy makers having to rethink how to assess students

Dunn and Dunn also found that the results varied by age. Older students generally fit the results of more than one modality, whereas younger students were more likely to fit the results of just one modality. This led them to conclude that style preferences are learned over the course of development. This is consistent with the idea that people are flexible in responding to the way they are taught. According to Sharples, the short term thinking of the past with work let as individual projects rather than as a programme also created problems. In a review of this research, Dunn and Dunn (1997) found that the evidence does not support the idea that people have a particular learning mode that is dominant or that they process information in a particular way. In their study, the authors found that when students were given a particular instructional treatment, they could be classified in a particular learning modality category. But when they were given a different instructional treatment, they were classified in a different category. In a follow-up study in which they gave students a number of instructional treatments, Dunn and Dunn found that students could be placed in a particular category in some treatments, but not others. It does a reasonable job. The program transforms surface text into a review but it doesn’t get to the essay’s meaning, nor does it find the fake reference or the made-up research study.

Detailed design for the SRP had been completed in May 2019 when the PPP started. Since then 25,000m 3 of earthmoving has been completed, the ground floor slab has been cast and the superstructure has reached two thirds of its full height. When complete the building will be 66m in length and 37m tall. Sharples describes it as an enterprise model that is consistent with the government’s Construction Playbook and the ICE’s Project 13 principles. “It’s an early adopter of those approaches,” he adds.

KBR head of training management operations Bridget Ward believes that the wider industry can learn from the approaches developed by the project partners when it comes to skills and doing things differently. According to Ward, the evolution of staff over the first three years has ensured that the work benefits from a diverse pool of thinking styles. The aim of the business was to specialise in advising Asian and other offshore investors in purchasing London property. The firm commenced business on 1st September 1997 in The Strand and subsequently moved to its current office in Covent Garden in 1999. So far 1,400 people have been mobilised to the PPP and another 500 are expected to join them by the end of the year. Under PPP, Sellafield is the intelligent client which provides key capabilities through secondment to the four project partners. KBR is project integrator responsible for planning work, Jacobs is the designer, Morgan Sindall is the civils contractor and Doosan is undertaking process construction.

Just as a student can generate an essay in seconds, so a teacher can assess it. Add “Here is a short assessment of this student essay:” to the end of the text and GPT-3 writes a review. Leading that work is Steve Harnwell who is Sellafield Ltd delivery director but who has been seconded into Morgan Sindall to deliver the SRP as project director. The Sharple is a self-sharpening peeler that makes light work of everyday meal prep. The ultra-sharp stainless steel blade is designed to last a lifetime without becoming dull or succumbing to rust. The Sharple has a unique safety cover with a built-in ceramic sharpener. This clever design automatically sharpens the blade everytime the cover is open or closed, keeping your sharpener in great shape for years to come.

Doughty adds: “We have a line manager induction and then a menu of courses available. There is no assumption that people have those skills, especially when it comes to managing a rainbow team. The PPP is not all about command and control. The success is all about relationships.” That all changed in 2019 when the PPP was put in place after three years of development. Sharples says that Sellafield met with “everybody” during the development process to understand current best practice when it came to alliancing models. Key discussions involved Anglian Water, Hinkley Point C and Heathrow. Your Sharple can go straight into your dishwasher’s cutlery basket after use and features generous drainage channels to ensure ease of cleaning and drying.Thirdly, teachers can explore the ethics and limits of AI. How does it feel to interact with an expert wordsmith that has no morals and no experience of the world? Does a deep neural network have a mind, or is it just a big data processor? There are four individual contracts,” Sharples explains. “But in addition to those there is an aligned incentive agreement that all the partners are signed up to which binds the partnership to an aligned incentive fund. All projects delivered are put into the fund and the partners are only paid at outcome, rather than at periodic milestones.” This meant that there were multiple supply chain partners on different projects and the bids for each of those projects was separate so you were never getting that consistency, you were never getting that transferability of teams, capability, staff and learning and you were never getting investment which you do if you have a larger model running over a longer period of time.” With all the focus in artificial intelligence and education on AI personalised learning and tutoring systems, one AI technology has slipped by unnoticed. It could become a gift for student cheats, or a powerful teaching assistant, or a tool for creativity. It’s called a Transformer, it acts as a universal language tool and it is set to disrupt education. Here’s how. The essay is well-organized and flows smoothly. It makes a clear argument and supports it with evidence from research.
