As we deliver the role of Principal Designer (BR) we have created an in-depth understanding of what the regulations define the role to be. This goes alongside reflection on how the Principal Designer (BR) role fits in with the existing professionals in the project design phase.
The driving goal for us has been to work out a path that delivers the aspiration of better curated, compliant projects without duplicating work or adding unnecessary additional costs to clients.
Although it might seem counterintuitive to expand my workflow, I took the decision to enrol on an ‘AI bootcamp for business’ course run by Bournemouth and Poole College.
This has been transformational for the journey. Although AI cannot do the work for you and does not replace professional judgement, it is a tool that enables the user to cover a huge amount of ground, or reference a large body of information at great speed.
As I’m learning, there is a skill to using AI and it takes a moment to understand the basics of how it works and how it can fit in to your work environment. I think it’s important to be transparent about the use of AI and to this end have created an AI policy which is available on our website.
Whilst AI helps support the production of regulatory-aligned output, I feel that it does lose the ‘human feel’ and can lead to less engaging content. To this end I will note at the bottom of all my future posts as to whether they are ‘AI assisted’ or ‘All Human’.
More on this down the road once I’ve got more experience under my belt.
