Responsible Use of AI

Use AI as an assistive tool, not a substitute for professional judgment. GeoPrac prompts and AI-generated outputs are provided for informational purposes and do not constitute engineering advice. AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or inappropriate for a particular project, site, client, or jurisdiction. Engineers and other professionals remain responsible for independently verifying results; applying applicable laws, codes, standards, and professional requirements; protecting confidential, proprietary, and client information; and ensuring that work affecting public health, safety, and welfare is performed under the responsible charge of a qualified professional. Do not rely on AI output as the sole basis for engineering decisions.
