Decision question
Should Engineer A proactively disclose to the client that AI tools generated substantial portions of the design and report, or present the deliverables as conventionally authored engineering work?
Focus
Engineer A must decide whether to disclose to the client that AI tools generated substantial portions of both the design documents and the written report, or to present the work product as conventionally authored engineering output.
Option1
Inform the client before or upon delivery that AI tools generated substantial portions of the design documents and report, identifying which sections were AI-produced and describing the verification steps taken.
Option2
Treat AI tools as equivalent to other computational or drafting software such as CAD or FEA packages, disclosing AI usage only if the client specifically inquires, consistent with how other software tools are handled.
Option3
Document AI tool usage in internal project records and deliverable metadata without a separate client notification, on the basis that the engineer reviewed and sealed the work and therefore bears full professional responsibility regardless of the generative method.
