Abstract
Large language models with artificial intelligence are transforming the way infrastructure projects are planned, executed and managed. Vishak Dudhee and Vladimir Vukovic of V-Lab say they are unlocking unprecedented efficiency and innovation in civil engineering.
In civil engineering, where efficiency and precision are paramount, integrating large language models (LLMs) is proving to be a game-changer. These advanced artificial-intelligence (AI) systems are reshaping how infrastructure construction projects are planned, executed and managed, significantly improving productivity and project outcomes.
The UK government’s National AI Strategy (HMG, 2021) recognises the immense potential of AI in enhancing resilience, productivity and innovation across various sectors.
According to McKinsey (Chui et al., 2023), generative AI and other technologies can potentially automate work activities that currently occupy 60–70% of employee time.
