http://proethica.org/ontology/case/7#Engineer_A_Mentor_Loss_Response_Principle
Definition
When Engineer B retired and became unavailable, Engineer A substituted AI software for the quality assurance review function that Engineer B had previously provided, without seeking alternative peer review or supervisory oversight.
Properties
Instance of
MentorshipContinuityPrinciple
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#MentorshipContinuityPrinciple
Applied to
Report and design document preparation without mentor oversight
Balancing with
Client delivery expectations
Professional Competence
Concrete expression
When Engineer B retired and became unavailable, Engineer A substituted AI software for the quality assurance review function that Engineer B had previously provided, without seeking alternative peer review or supervisory oversight.
Confidence
0.85
Interpretation
The loss of Engineer B created a quality assurance gap that Engineer A was obligated to address through alternative review mechanisms. Substituting an unfamiliar AI tool without equivalent verification did not satisfy this obligation.
Tension resolution
The principle was not satisfied: Engineer A chose AI substitution over alternative peer review, and the resulting work product contained errors that Engineer B's review might have caught.

Faced with the need to deliver both the report and the engineering design documents without the review by and mentorship from Engineer B, Engineer A opted to use open-sourced artificial intelligence (AI) software
Previously, Engineer A had relied on guidance and quality assurance reviews by their mentor and supervisor, Engineer B, to refine report drafts. But Engineer B recently retired and was no longer available to Engineer A in a work capacity.
Source text
Faced with the need to deliver both the report and the engineering design documents without the review by and mentorship from Engineer B, Engineer A opted to use open-sourced artificial intelligence (AI) software to create an initial draft of the necessary report and to use AI-assisted drafting tools to generate preliminary design documents.
