Neil DaviesGUEST
It's just when and where we get our rain is changed to what it used to be a while back.

Neil DaviesGUEST
So I think what we're facing is the, um, Tree planting on most development schemes is often an afterthought.

Neil DaviesGUEST
It's put in as a box ticking exercise to comply with the planning consent or some kind of BNG or natural capital or one of those other targets that were applied to consents.

Neil DaviesGUEST
And because it's an afterthought, it's not often given the correct design parameters, I don't feel.

Neil DaviesGUEST
An example a colleague of mine used was if you had an highways engineer putting in a lamp column next to an A road.

What can you expect when you're selling Beyond or you're offering it to a customer? What are the key differences?

Neil DaviesGUEST
So the overall ship generally is pretty much the same as it's because it's belonged to the same class of ship.

For anybody that perhaps doesn't know the differences between Beyond and Apex, what can you expect when you're selling Beyond or you're offering it to a customer? What are the key differences?

Neil DaviesGUEST
Okay, so, um, the overall ship generally is pretty much the same, um, as it's, because it's belonged to the same, uh, class of ship.

Neil DaviesGUEST
But, um, Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Apex were the first two, and then Celebrity Beyond was, uh, the third in the Edge series ships.

Neil DaviesGUEST
So she's a little bit bigger, uh, so she's 20 meters longer, and she's also got an extra deck, so, um, she's a little bit taller.

Neil DaviesGUEST
Um, she's 11,000 tons larger than, uh, Apex, and she carries an extra 350 passengers, um, with an extra 179 staterooms and suites.

Neil DaviesGUEST
So she's, um, on the numbers, she's, um, the bigger sister with- within the, um, within the fleet of, uh, Edge series ships.

Megan ConlinHOST
Is there any concern in your mind that AI may eventually replace the TA function?

Neil DaviesGUEST
I don't think it's going to replace the TA function, but it's going to change the work that the TA function does.

Neil DaviesGUEST
Someone explained to me who spent their time scheduling that it's like Tetris, like playing Tetris with people, you know, and schedules and it's, it's, it's actually difficult to do.

Neil DaviesGUEST
Again, AI is ideally suited to that and it doesn't, it doesn't present any risk.

Neil DaviesGUEST
There's some operational risk, obviously, but there's no selection risk associated with it.

Neil DaviesGUEST
So for someone who wants to adopt AI, it's actually a really sensible place to start and to sort of cut your teeth on that kind of work.

Marcus PaskHOST
Where would you start at looking at some tech stack that could support a TA function that hasn't already started looking at it?
