The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) adopted a statement establishing its position on using artificial intelligence (AI) in architectural practice and its impact on regulation.

Advancements in AI and computational design are providing architects with new labor-saving tools and transforming many of the tasks associated with project delivery.

At NCARB’s June 2024 Annual Business Meeting (ABM), 150 licensing board members from around the country participated in a workshop on AI and regulation.

Although opinions were divided, a consensus was reached on some topics:

• Regulators should avoid restricting technological advancements that enhance the profession’s capacity to promote public health, safety, and welfare.
• Any proposed regulation that employs AI must ensure the licensed practitioner remains in control and continues to be accountable for all submissions under their seal.
• Regardless of the AI tools used, the architect will be responsible for providing services in conformance with the standard of care.
