Generative AI is rapidly transforming the geotechnical engineering landscape, from streamlining routine tasks to enabling complex analysis and design. To explore the practical implications of this technology, the AGS Sydney NSW Chapter, in collaboration with ISSMGE TC309, is proud to present a dynamic session featuring a series of short presentations and project pitches.
This event brings together practitioners who will share real-world applications of Generative AI in geotechnical workflows. From automating data interpretation and report generation to AI-assisted modelling and design tools, each speaker will showcase innovations that span from small-scale efficiencies to game-changing frameworks.
Key discussion points and takeaways include:
- Real-World Impact: Discover how engineers are already applying GenAI to automate geotechnical data processing, model setup, and documentation tasks.
- Scalability and Accessibility: Learn how practical AI tools can be implemented by teams of any size, even those with limited programming expertise.
- The Role of Engineering Judgment: Understand why validation, QA, and professional oversight remain essential in AI-augmented workflows.
- Data Foundations: See how structured, well-organised data underpins the effectiveness of GenAI, particularly when leveraging legacy project archives.
Whether you are just starting your GenAI journey or looking to expand its role in your projects, this event offers insight, inspiration, and peer-tested examples tailored to geotechnical engineering practice.
A Report and Reflection on the panel is also available for download from the original event page.
