CPD Webinar
AI in Surveying: The Legal Risks and How to Manage Them
AI is already in your clients’ hands and your software. This session looks at what that means legally for your work, your reports and your clients.
Friday 4 December, 1pm to 2:30pm. Live on Microsoft Teams. 1.5 hours structured CPD.
£69 + VAT per person. Recording included.
Why AI in surveying matters now
Clients are arriving with AI-generated answers. Reporting software is adding AI features. Many surveyors are already using AI tools, often without a clear view of where the legal risk sits.
This session gives you a practical, legal view of what that means for your liability, your reports and your client relationships. It’s delivered by a legal trainer who works with surveyors.
The RICS Responsible Use of AI standard has been mandatory since 9 March 2026. It sets out what firms must do. This session focuses on the legal side: where liability sits and how to protect your firm. For ongoing peer support, join The Surveying Room.
What you’ll cover
- Where AI is heading, and what’s realistic for a surveying practice
- Using AI to help prepare reports and surveys, and where the risks sit
- When clients arrive with AI-generated answers: tips and traps
- Confidentiality, data and compliance
Full notes provided, with time for your questions.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Explain how AI is likely to affect residential surveying work and the reports surveyors produce
- Identify the main legal and liability risks of using AI to help prepare reports and surveys, and how to reduce them
- Respond appropriately when clients arrive with AI-generated information, including what to say and what to record
- Apply confidentiality, data protection and compliance requirements when using AI tools with client documents
