The British Geotechnical Association present their touring lecture: "Beyond automation: responsible AI workflows in geotechnical modelling and monitoring"
Geotechnical engineering is entering an era where machines can see more, compute faster and detect patterns long before humans notice them — yet we remain unsure how far to trust them.
This lecture explores that tension.
We examine the reliability limits of AI in a domain defined by sparse data and high consequence, the legal and insurance frameworks that keep liability firmly human, and the cultural forces that slow adoption even when the technology works.
