We’ll introduce the new guidance and explore how it can be applied in practice, including:
- the key messages and resources in the guidance suite
- taking a proportionate, risk-based approach to AI use
- when and how to talk with clients about AI
- a structural engineering example showing how AI can support engineering work while maintaining professional judgement, verification and accountability
- using the Project Management Tool to plan and manage AI use through a project.
We’ll finish with a 20-minute panel Q&A with questions for the speakers about AI in engineering practice.
The webinar brings together the team behind Engineering New Zealand’s AI in Professional Practice guidance.
