Optimizing the Utilization of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the AEC Industry: ChatGPT Prompt Engineering and Design

Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds significant potential for revolutionizing the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry by automating complex tasks such as construction scheduling, hazard recognition, resource leveling, information retrieval from BIM, etc. However, realizing this potential requires a strategic approach to ensure effective utilization and maximum benefit. This paper presents guidelines for prompt design and engineering to elicit desired responses from ChatGPT, a Generative AI tool, in AEC applications. Key steps include understanding user intent, leveraging model capabilities, and optimizing prompt structures. By following these guidelines, stakeholders in the AEC industry can harness the power of Generative AI to improve construction scheduling processes, increase project efficiency, and ultimately drive innovation and growth in the industry. Several illustrative examples on construction scheduling and hazard recognition are provided to demonstrate the methodology proposed in this research. It is concluded that Generative AI, when effectively utilized, significantly enhances project scheduling and hazard recognition capability in the AEC industry with minimal error.
