Event
Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to implementation across the engineering industry. While firms are increasingly focused on the opportunities AI creates, many leaders remain uncertain about the risks—and how to manage them effectively.
Join the ACEC Research Institute for an exclusive discussion of findings from its latest research study, Managing AI When You Don’t Understand Its Risks: Best Practices for Engineering Firms. Based on interviews with engineering firm executives, technology providers, clients, legal and insurance professionals, and AI experts, the study identifies the most significant AI-related risks facing firms today and the practical steps leaders can take to address them.
During this session, chief research consultant Joseph Bates will present the study’s key findings, including emerging risks, areas of greatest concern, and leading practices for AI governance and risk management. He will be joined by two engineering firm leaders who participated in the research to discuss how their organizations are evaluating AI risks, implementing safeguards, and balancing innovation with responsible adoption.
Attendees will gain practical insights into:
• The most important AI risks facing engineering firms today
• How AI risks extend beyond technology to include legal, financial, operational, workforce, and ethical considerations
• Emerging best practices for AI governance and oversight
• Steps firms can take now to reduce risk while continuing to innovate
• Perspectives from firm leaders on real-world AI adoption and risk management
Whether your firm is just beginning to explore AI or is already deploying AI-enabled tools, this session will provide a valuable framework for understanding and managing risk in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
