In this episode of Tank Talk, Shannon and Cassie dive into the hot topic of AI and environmental compliance. Cassie Kuzis, part of the Integrity Environmental team, joins the podcast for the first time with Shannon to weigh in on AI. With AI tools becoming more common in operations, Shannon decided to run a little experiment: Can ChatGPT write a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan?

Spoiler alert - it didn’t go well.

Shannon walks us through the results of three AI-generated SPCC plans, revealing the major compliance failures, regulatory inaccuracies, and risky oversights that came with each attempt. From missing signatures and misapplied containment definitions to false statements and oversimplified training requirements, the experiment highlights why environmental plans and permits should always be developed by qualified professionals.

Tune in to hear:

• Why SPCCs are legal documents - and why that matters
• Where AI went wrong (and what it surprisingly got right)
• What you should do when considering tech support for environmental planning

This is a must-listen for facility managers, compliance officers, and anyone curious about the limits of AI in regulated industries.
