Sponsored webinar with Ground Engineering Magazine

As digital innovation reshaped geotechnical engineering, this webinar explored how agentic AI and established engineering software could work together to transform workflows and unlock new efficiencies. This session brought together experts to discuss how geotechnical software supported by robust APIs could integrate with emerging AI technologies to automate repetitive tasks, enhance analysis, and enable deeper insights. This thought-leadership discussion focused on real-world applications. Attendees heard practical examples of how agentic AI was being used alongside Oasys software to streamline modelling processes and manage data more effectively, while maintaining the critical role of engineering judgement.

The webinar also addressed key challenges, including data quality, workflow adaptation, and the limitations of AI in complex engineering contexts. Speakers shared lessons learned from live projects and discussed how engineers could responsibly adopt AI, balancing innovation with accuracy, validation, and professional oversight. They provided valuable insights into how AI was changing the way engineers work and how to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

Key takeaways:

  • How agentic AI could complement, rather than replace, engineering software
  • Practical examples of AI-enabled geotechnical workflows
  • The importance of engineering judgement and QA in AI-driven processes
  • Considerations for adopting AI responsibly within engineering teams
