About this episode

This episode explores the impact of artificial intelligence on fire protection engineering and speculates on future industry changes.

Everybody in fire protection, and everywhere else for that matter, is wondering how artificial intelligence will impact their lives, their jobs, and society in general. On this episode, we will explore some of the ways that AI is already having a meaningful impact on fire protection engineering, and then engineer and industry observer Joe Meyer will engage in some informed speculation about what we will see next and how the industry might evolve and change as a result. This episode was recorded live in late June at 2026 NFPA Conference and Expo in Las Vegas.
