The position of HICE on artificial intelligence is unambiguous.
AI is not a replacement for the contracts manager, the quantity surveyor, the lawyer or the engineer. It is a tool that becomes powerful only inside a disciplined framework. Without that framework it produces drafting that reads well and performs badly — particular conditions that contradict the general conditions, notices that miss time bars, claims without causation, determinations that waive rights without reserving them.
The HICE provides that framework. It is written to be read by humans and by machines, and HICE engine AI the structure, the tone and the reservation logic that practitioners have built over decades of administering high-value contracts.
The work divides plainly. AI drafts, navigates and analyses at speed. It does not decide. Every decision of legal or commercial significance is taken by a competent person, and every output is verified against the contract and the facts before it is relied upon.
The human retains the judgement. The human retains the signature. The human retains the accountability. AI retains the speed.
This Charter aligns with the OECD AI Principles, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001 and the human-oversight principle of the EU AI Act.
