Speakers

This virtual talk explores how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping modern civil engineering and the ways industry is adapting to rapidly evolving digital capabilities. The session will examine current AI‑enabled practices across planning, design, construction, and asset management, highlighting how organisations are leveraging data‑driven tools to improve efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

A key focus of the talk will be the balance between embracing innovation and maintaining security, trust, and ethical responsibility. As AI solutions become more deeply embedded in engineering workflows, concerns around data governance, cyber‑security, model transparency, and regulatory compliance are increasingly critical. The speaker will discuss how leading civil engineering firms are navigating these challenges, ensuring safe adoption while still enabling meaningful technical advancement.

Attendees will gain insight into:

Emerging AI applications in the civil engineering sector
How industry organisations are restructuring workflows and skillsets
Risks associated with AI adoption and strategies for mitigation
The evolving landscape of standards, policy, and professional responsibilities

This session will provide a forward‑looking perspective on how civil engineering can harness AI responsibly, securely, and effectively.
