Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence

ORS Consulting uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support the delivery of our engineering, risk and advisory services. We are committed to using AI responsibly, transparently and in line with applicable law.

How we use AI

We use AI to support our specialists in delivering our services. AI-assisted work is reviewed and validated by qualified ORS personnel before it informs any deliverable, and the professional judgement of our experts remains paramount. All communication with clients and the public is conducted by people, not AI.

Our principles

Human oversight - AI assists; people decide. Qualified staff review and validate AI-supported work.
Transparency - we set out our approach in this public statement and confirm on request whether AI has contributed to a deliverable.
Fairness - we take care to avoid unfair bias or discriminatory outcomes.
Confidentiality and client data - we do not use AI tools that train on client data to improve publicly available AI systems, and we select AI services whose terms reflect this. Client data and confidential information remain subject to our confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
Privacy and data protection - we handle personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our privacy policies, and we limit what is shared with AI tools. AI processing may take place within or outside the EEA under the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy.
Security - AI is used only through controlled, managed systems with appropriate safeguards.
Accountability - ORS remains responsible for its work, whether or not AI was used to support it.

AI-assisted meeting notes

Where meetings or workshops are recorded or transcribed using AI, the resulting transcripts, summaries and notes are informal working materials only. They do not represent ORS's professional position - only written deliverables issued and signed by an authorized ORS representative do.

How we manage AI responsibly

We train our people in the responsible use of AI (AI literacy).
We provide access to AI only through secure, approved platforms.
We do not use AI for automated decisions about individuals or for uses classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act.

Contact

Questions about our use of AI can be sent to admin@ors-consulting.com.
