Understanding AI-Assisted Regulatory Workflows

Course Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we work - but you don’t need to be a tech expert to understand and benefit from it. Whether you are new to AI or are already using it, this practical, hands-on course is designed for professionals working with regulations, such as building officials, inspectors, planners, fire prevention officers and First Nations who want to explore what AI can (and can’t) do in their professional context. Through case studies and guided activities, you’ll learn how to approach AI tools informed, critically, and responsibly. Along the way, you’ll gain the experience of effectively collaborating with an AI tool, through designing and refining effective ‘prompts’, AI-Assisted permit reviews, and regulatory cross-checking for compliance. Learners will build a personalized plan for actionable use of AI in their professional context.
