Decision question
Should Engineer A (and Engineer B as mentor) proactively disclose to Client W that AI tools were used to generate portions of the report and design, or treat AI as an internal drafting tool requiring no separate client notification?
Focus
Engineer B Mentor Engineer and Engineer A failed to disclose to Client W that AI tools were used in preparing the environmental report and design documents. The board must determine whether engineers are obligated to proactively disclose AI tool usage and AI-generated content to the client before submission, or whether existing professional review and sealing practices are sufficient.
Option1
Proactively inform Client W that AI tools were used to generate portions of the report and design, identify which sections were AI-assisted, and describe the verification steps taken before sealing.
Option2
Treat AI as an internal production tool equivalent to CAD or spreadsheet software, relying on the engineer's professional seal to represent full responsibility for the work product without separate disclosure of the tools used to produce it.
Option3
Document AI tool usage in the internal project file and quality assurance records without providing a separate client-facing disclosure, on the basis that tool-level documentation satisfies professional record-keeping obligations without requiring client notification.
