Spotted the article below this morning and was struck by the parallels between this new approach to fixing potholes and the 'self healing' properties of ancient Roman concrete. Its easy to see how and why the ancient might have been the stimulus for the modern, but I suppose I would be stretching a point to suggest these 'self healing' properties are a manifestation, of a kind, of an AI at work in both?
