As artificial intelligence (AI) begins to reshape industries, structural engineering stands at a crossroads. This talk explores how AI may influence the way we design, analyze, construct, and maintain the built environment. We will examine current applications, emerging technologies, and the challenges of integrating AI into engineering practice. The talk will also highlight the evolving role of engineers in an AI-augmented future—where human expertise and machine intelligence work together to build more resilient structures. Attendees will gain insights into the opportunities and responsibilities that come with engineering in the age of AI.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize how to leverage an AI-augmented environment, emphasizing human-AI collaboration and the need for interdisciplinary skills
- Evaluate the benefits and limitations of integrating AI into engineering workflows
- Envision future directions for research, education, and industry adoption of AI
