Decision question
Should Engineer A proactively disclose to the client and to Engineer B the nature and extent of AI tool usage in the design and report before those documents are finalized, or treat the AI tools as internal drafting aids that do not require separate disclosure?
Focus
Engineer A must decide how to disclose the AI tools used and the extent of AI involvement in both the design documents and the report, given that multiple AI disclosure and authorship obligations are unmet.
Option1
Proactively inform the client and Engineer B of the specific AI tools used, the portions of the design and report they generated, and the verification steps taken, before any documents are sealed or submitted.
Option2
Treat AI tools as internal drafting aids equivalent to spreadsheet or CAD software, disclosing their use only if the client or Engineer B specifically asks, on the basis that professional responsibility attaches to the engineer's judgment rather than to the tools employed.
Option3
Record the AI tools and their outputs in the internal project file to preserve a verifiable audit trail, while omitting proactive client notification on the grounds that the engineer's professional seal represents adequate assumption of responsibility for all methods used.
