Experience Level: Any level of experience

As the demands on forensic engineers intensify - driven by increasingly complex cases, tighter deadlines, and heightened scrutiny- AI offers transformative potential for our real-world scenarios.  This presentation makes the case for integrating AI tools into forensic engineering, without losing the human aspect, particularly for those who serve as expert witnesses. We will look at how AI can enhance our analysis, streamline processing, improve accuracy, and support defensible conclusions. 

However, recent court decisions have highlighted the risks of improper or undisclosed uses of AI in expert reports - leading to exclusion of testimony, challenges to credibility, and questions concerning authorship and reliability. These rulings underscore the necessity of transparency, human oversight, and adherence to professional standards when incorporating AI into forensic work. 

We will explore both the promise and the pitfalls of AI in expert witness practice, using real-world examples and current legal developments to guide ethical and effective implementation allowing us to walk away with a clearer understanding of how to responsibly integrate AI while preserving the integrity, admissibility and impact of our testimony. 

Learning Outcomes:

1. Understand the practical uses of AI.

2. Understand the pitfalls of AI.

3. Understand the need for disclosure.

4. Understand the ramifications of improper prompting.
