  • Safety Design Principles for AI Adoption in Organizations

    From an engineering perspective, I propose three principles that organizations should consider when designing The engineering discipline here is straightforward but often overlooked: Map your existing safety controls This integrated view reflects how safety is actually achieved in mature engineering disciplines. Aircraft aren't safe just because engines are reliable. This is the work of engineering: not making perfect systems, but making systems that fail safely, that

  • Sustainable Development and Environmental Stewardship - Part 1

    created by Engineers Canada in 2016. in sustainable engineering efforts. Sustainable engineering defines an approach to engineering to meet the challenges of sustainable development In many ways, in Canada, we have not done as much engineering as we used to. outlines 10 guidelines for engineers: Engineers: Should maintain and continuously improve awareness

  • Tyrannical Compliance

    As an engineer, I have always had to comply with rules (i.e. requirements) of all kinds such as: laws Professional engineers in Canada (and other parts of the world) are also constrained by law to protect All of these are a form of constraint, and to an engineer these are seen as challenges and not problems The essence of engineering lies in designing solutions that work within given constraints while planning Compliance with regulations in many ways is no different than an engineer designing a system to meet

  • The AI Dilemma: Exploring the Unintended Consequences of Uncontrolled Artificial Intelligence

    responsible for the “responsible” use of AI, and when does the science experiment stop, and responsible engineering A step we can take is to reinsert the engineering method into the development of AI. This will require more engineers, along with other professionals, in the loop, advocating for and practising Instead of deploying science experiments to the public at scale we need to build responsible engineered

  • Hold Paramount the Safety, Health, and Welfare of the Public: Pass or Fail?

    Engineers are responsible for ensuring that their designs are safe, reliable, and effective. This is consistent with the engineering method. In my first year of engineering design we were taught that engineering is never neutral. Social impacts are necessary design considerations for all who practise engineering. Scientists and engineers should not hide behind a technical shield.

  • Transforming Business Through AI: Key Insights

    Companies need to build AI literacy across all departments, from engineering to legal, HR, and marketing Engineers need technical understanding, while legal teams require compliance and risk perspectives. Many professionals are moving into AI governance roles, but fewer are pursuing AI engineering due to This could create imbalances, with potentially too many governance specialists and too few engineers Bringing Teams Together One clear message from the conference: AI governance and engineering must work

  • Isn't Lean Compliance the same as Lean Six Sigma?

    (Founder and Chief Compliance Engineer at Lean Compliance Consulting, Inc.). principles come from existing areas of practice, including Lean Management, Lean Startup, Lean TPS, Engineering That’s why we have engineers!

  • A Little About Myself

    I chair the AI Committee at E4P (Engineers for the Profession) advocating for the recognition and right to practice for emerging engineering disciplines. As a profession we need to do more to elevate the role engineering across the multiple disciplines that are needed today such as AI engineering, Cybersecurity, Quantum and many others. As a professional engineer I recognize that I have a duty to uphold the public welfare as paramount and

  • AI Safety Approach (ISO PAS 8800)

    As a Compliance Engineer, I'm focused on developing robust methodologies for emerging compliance challenges Requirements Isolation Strategy: A Systems Engineering Approach The webinar presented what I'll call systematically addresses uncertainty through: Methodical reduction of controllable risks, and Establishing engineering

  • The Stochastic Wrench: How AI Disrupts Our Deterministic World

    Up until now, we have engineered machines to be deterministic, which means they are stable across time Artificial Intelligence - A Stochastic Wrench Yet, here we are, with a stochastic machine, a probabilistic engine

  • The Need for LEAN AI Regulation

    Professional engineers, for example, already adhere to strict ethical codes.

  • Should Using ChatGPT Result in Loss of License to Practice?

    a result, the discussion has emerged as to whether the use of ChatGPT should lead to the loss of an engineering Professionals, especially those in highly regulated fields like engineering, bear a significant responsibility Speculating on the potential outcomes of engineers relying on ChatGPT in critical infrastructure systems specific incident raises concerns about the lawyer's reliance on AI-generated content, revoking an engineering relying solely on AI-generated content in the legal profession, contemplating the use of ChatGPT by engineers
