What you will learn - Verify the authorized source, project, units, issue date, revision, and package. - Inspect assumptions, scope limits, transformations, exceptions, and unsupported conditions. - Compare output to source and spot-check geometry, totals, and intended use. - Record the human disposition: accept, edit, reject, or escalate.

Automated completion is not human approval. Current contract documents, applicable standards, project-specific engineering, and qualified review control consequential releases.

Give an assistant a fictional note containing one unresolved question. If its summary turns that question into a decision, the output has changed the meaning even if it sounds plausible. Check the source, the factual statements, and the proposed action separately. Keep confidential information within approved systems. An AI summary is a draft that needs verification; it does not establish engineering authority or a project release. ### Try it with a sample Test the workflow with an invented note and keep a list of omitted qualifications or added claims.

Accessible transcript ## AI-assisted steel detailing human check video transcript The visible transcript makes the video content available to people and search systems without requiring playback. - AI can accelerate steel detailing, but a qualified person must control every release. - Use a three-step human check before AI-assisted output moves into drawings, fabrication data, or production. - First, verify the source: project, sheet, model, units, issue date, revision, and authorized package. - Second, inspect assumptions, scope limits, transformations, exceptions, and unsupported conditions. - Third, compare output to source, spot-check geometry and totals, and confirm the intended use. - Then record the disposition: accept, edit, reject, or escalate. Automated success is not approval. - Keep evidence showing what changed, which exceptions remained, and who authorized release. - That is human-directed, AI-assisted steel detailing.
