AI applications to fire engineering - environmental scan

AI is starting to play a bigger role in fire engineering, with fire engineers and researchers exploring its potential. But without a clear understanding of its risks and benefits, there’s a chance that we could misuse it or miss out on opportunities. With strong fire industry connections and independence, BRANZ is leading a project to explore and use AI for impact. AI applications to fire engineering – environmental scan will analyse how AI tools such as machine learning, artificial neural networks and large language models are being used in the fire industry. It will include a literature review, industry engagement and a scan of AI applications to help guide how BRANZ can use this technology in its own fire research and to share with the wider sector.
