PBC Today reports:
Researchers at University College London’s Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction are inviting architecture, engineering and construction professionals to give their view of the state of ethical governance of AI….
AI use is growing, but there is little focus on the ethical considerations….
This growth is largely driven by interests around efficiency and productivity, given the potential of various AI tools to, for instance, refine designs, draft documents or to undertake complex calculations faster…..
….the study seeks to identify key reference points (eg laws, guidelines, standards) that AEC professionals draw upon to inform an ethical approach in adopting and using AI, and to explore the challenges and gaps in the current practices around ethical deployment of AI in the UK AEC sector.
