A introdução do ChatGPT na indústria da construção civil como ferramenta de apoio

Abstract

Despite the numerous challenges faced by the construction industry in terms of investment and the implementation of new technologies encompassing the new industrial revolution, known as the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0, the new tools that have been aiding the development of various sectors (such as automation, information technology, and manufacturing processes), regulations for the use of new technologies (DECREE No. 10,306, DATED APRIL 2, 2020), the easy access and availability that companies developing numerous Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools are providing to users worldwide, and the anticipation of significant investments from the construction industry in Brazil in the coming years, create a favorable scenario for technological advancement in the construction sector. In this manner, the aim of this work was to identify how the introduction of ChatGPT is taking place in the field of construction and the level of knowledge professionals in the field possess regarding the tool. To achieve this, a questionnaire was devised and administered to 19 industry professionals, where 10 responses revealed functionalities provided by AI for the tasks they carry out in the construction field. Additionally, a statistical analysis was conducted using the Pearson Correlation method, which was calculated by categorizing the number of participants with up to 3 years of completed coursework, from 3 to 6 years after graduation, from 6 to 9 years of completed education, and with more than 9 years since graduation, and correlated with the level of knowledge, resulting in a correlation coefficient of r = -0.713500443366387.
