Verdict
While AI can assist with certain technical aspects of structural engineering, the profession relies heavily on interpersonal communication and complex problem-solving that AI cannot fully replicate. The risk of substitution is moderate, with AI likely enhancing rather than replacing human engineers in the near future.
