A2.2 ‐ Scenario Simulation
Scenario simulation in prompt engineering involves creating prompts that project complex, dynamic situations, requiring large language models (LLMs) to adopt adaptive response strategies. This guide focuses on employing scenario simulations for advanced analysis, decision-making, or creative exploration.
Scenario simulation is a technique to envision and explore implications of hypothetical situations, complex problems, or future events through detailed AI-generated narratives or analyses.
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Realism | Plausible within its context |
| Complexity | Incorporates multiple variables or factors |
| Dynamics | Evolves over time or through interactions |
- Depth and Detail: Ensuring richness for meaningful exploration.
- Adaptive Responses: Guiding AI to adapt to evolving elements.
- Objective: Establish a structured foundation.
-
Components:
- Context: Setting or background.
- Actors: Key players or entities.
- Dynamics: Interactions and evolution.
Scenario Framework Example
context: "In an interstellar trade federation"
actors: ["Human traders", "Alien merchants", "AI regulators"]
dynamics: ["Trade negotiations", "Cultural exchanges", "Regulatory enforcement"]- Strategy: Introduce changeable variables.
- Application: Simulate decision points or events.
Dynamic Elements Example
During a trade negotiation between human traders and alien merchants, a dispute arises over a misunderstood cultural norm. How do the AI regulators intervene, and what are the implications for future trade relations?- Purpose: Encourage AI to consider past events and anticipate future developments.
- Method: Craft prompts requiring synthesis of past information and future projections.
Adaptive Strategy Prompt
Given the recent intervention by AI regulators, how might human traders adjust their negotiation tactics in future dealings with alien merchants?- Concept: Build the scenario in phases with evolving dynamics.
- Implementation: Sequence prompts to unfold different aspects.

C --> D[Phase 3: Long-term Implications and Adjustments]
- Approach: Introduce chance or uncertainty.
- Utility: Adds complexity and realism by simulating unpredictability.
Probabilistic Element Example
Assess the likelihood of each actor (human traders, alien merchants, AI regulators) achieving their objectives, considering potential unforeseen events in the interstellar market.- Tool: Diagrams or flowcharts to map outcomes or decision trees.
- Benefit: Clear visual representation of complex pathways.

Scenario simulation is a potent technique in prompt engineering, allowing for the projection into complex, dynamic situations. By meticulously constructing scenarios, introducing adaptive elements, and visually mapping outcomes, users can leverage the full potential of LLMs in understanding and navigating intricate situations.
