Rahul Wala explores the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence in structural engineering, including core ethical risks and mitigation strategies.
The structural engineering profession is at risk of accelerating business-as-usual with its current focus on the productivity gains offered by artificial intelligence (AI), argues Megan Greig. Instead, a strategic approach is needed to prioritise adoption of AI in the pursuit of sustainability goals.
Robin Jones summarises the discussion at a roundtable hosted by the IStructE in June 2025 which explored the potential safety risks of widespread adoption of artificial intelligence in the structural engineering profession, as well as opportunities it may bring for improving safety.
