Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been developing rapidly and is currently being used in many industries, including design and architecture. Lighting design is one of these industries where AI can be a valuable tool for developing concepts and designs. This study focuses on the available AI platforms that can be used for the conceptualization of lighting designs and explores the role that AI can play in the design process of a lighting designer.

To evaluate this, ChatGPT was trained to provide image generation prompts which can be used in Midjourney to achieve lighting design concepts as an image. This image was then evaluated and modelled in 3D using DIALux to achieve quantitative parameters, such as illuminance levels, uniformity, unified glare ratings, and other standards mentioned in the EN 12464-1:2021.

In conclusion, although the AI-generated design may appear traditional and outdated, the study highlights that AI can be a valuable tool for conceptualizing lighting designs and can serve as a source of inspiration for designers. However, it is important to note that significant groundwork is still required from the designer. The research further investigates the various capabilities and limitations of AI in the context of lighting design, aiming to identify its true potential in the field.
