Who's going to seal these drawings? Let me tell you, if that is your last defense, you're already done. You're already done. That is not a business model. Like, oh, who's going to stamp our drawings? Like the CEOs, I mean, many of them are my investors. They just don't know how to tell people, like how is this change happening and what is it going to mean to their career because they know better. In fact, a lot of the regulatory conversations happening right now are you might be at risk if you don't use AI. In other words, if the new standard of care in architecture and engineering is using AI tools and if you're not using them, it could be in fact that you're more liable by not using AI tools. It'd be like hand drafting. If you started back to Vellum and Penn, you're probably open to more liability than using CAD or BIM or whatever.
So it's very interesting, let me tell you, this stuff is moving fast.
And when people ask me like, well, you know, regulatory piece is not going to happen. Well, I know a lot of the large VCs are funding lots of lobbyists right now to make a lot of these laws change, whether it be in engineering, whether it be in architecture, or accounting. What does a CPA stamp mean? Does that mean that that person has reviewed every number in detail and looked at it 100 different ways like a computer can? No, it does not mean that. It means that they are comfortable with their agents, the people who work for them.
That is what they're comfortable with. It doesn't mean that they've looked at every detail.

Well, even with that example that you gave of the CPA, I think if anything, it frees them up to focus on the bigger issues that do result from, say an audit or some type of financial accounting review that requires a couple of extra sets of eyes. Now you have an AI set of eyes, and then you have the CPA, who is classically trained, and they're able to inform their client based on the findings of what AI comes up with and verify it. So, I mean, I think it makes a huge difference.

The problem is we all do these.
