This video presents the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on structural engineering. With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, AI is revolutionizing workflows, optimizing designs, and reshaping professional practices. The lecture explores how AI complements traditional engineering calculations with practical judgment, balancing the art and science of design.
We examine AI’s ability to process vast datasets, refine project workflows, and provide practical solutions to complex engineering challenges. Real-world examples, including AI’s interpretation of structural diagrams, demonstrate its proficiency in analyzing and applying intricate concepts.
The video also highlights how AI supports engineers in bridging gaps between architectural vision and performance-based design, enabling faster, more accurate estimates that meet client expectations. By broadening the scope of work and enhancing efficiency, AI signifies the critical role of structural engineering in construction projects.
This presentation was part of the conference organized by the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP) in Cebu in May 2024. It reflects personal insights and considerations rather than strict research findings, aiming to provoke thought and discussion within the community.
