Presented at the 2026 ACEC Finance Forum, this session explored how engineering firms were applying artificial intelligence to finance and business operations through practical, real-world use cases. The discussion focused on where AI was delivering value, lessons learned from implementation, and the challenges firms encountered while incorporating AI into existing workflows.

Marcus Quigley of EFCG opened the session with an overview of AI trends and applications in the engineering industry, followed by a panel discussion featuring perspectives from Taylor Engineering, PRIME AE, and RK&K.

The session included approximately 20–30 minutes of prepared content followed by a moderated panel discussion on the successes, challenges, and practical considerations of implementing AI within engineering firms.
