Who is training and governance for?
Every firm using AI, formally or not. Staff are often already using AI tools; training and a clear policy make that safe and productive.
What problems does it solve?
- Shadow AI use with no rules on what data can be shared.
- Unchecked outputs reaching clients or drawings.
- Uneven skills — a few enthusiasts and many sceptics.
- Unclear accountability when AI-assisted work goes wrong.

- Review after a few months and update as tools change.
Where does governance fit in our approach?
Governance runs through every stage of our approach, from the first readiness assessment to tools we build. Official sources we refer to include the text of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (opens in a new tab) and India's national AI programme, IndiaAI (opens in a new tab).
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI workshop for architects and engineers cover?
- Practical use of AI for everyday tasks such as drafting, research, rendering and checking, how to write good prompts, how to verify outputs, and what not to put into AI tools.
Why does a design studio need an AI usage policy?
- A policy tells staff which tools they may use, what data they may share, how outputs must be checked, and who is accountable. It protects your clients, your data and your professional liability.
How does the DPDP Act affect AI use in AEC firms?
- India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 governs how personal data such as client and staff details is processed. Using AI tools on that data needs a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards, which your policy should cover.
Is the training technical?
- No. Workshops are designed for architects, engineers and project managers, not programmers. Examples come from real AEC tasks.
Can you train our leadership separately?
- Yes. Leadership briefings focus on strategy, risk, investment and governance rather than hands-on tool use.
