The ultrafine fly ash (FA) is a hazardous material collected from coal productions, which has been proficiently employed for the manufacturing of geopolymer concrete (GPC). In this study, the three artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, namely, artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface (ANFIS), and gene expression programming (GEP) are used to establish a reliable and accurate model to estimate the compressive strength(f  ′   c    )of fly ash–based geopolymer concrete (FGPC). A database of 298 instances is developed from the peer-reviewed published work. The database consists of the ten most prominent explanatory variables andf  ′   cof FGPC as a response parameter. The statistical error checks and criteria suggested in the literature are considered for the verification of the predictive strength of the models. The statistical measures considered in this study are MAE, RSE, RMSE, RRMSE, R, and performance index(  ρ  ). These checks verify that the ANFIS predictive model gives an outstanding performance followed by GEP and ANN predictive models. In the validation stage, the coefficient of correlation (R) for ANFIS, GEP, and ANN model is 0.9783, 0.9643, and 0.9314, respectively. All three models also fulfill the external verification criterion suggested in the literature. Generally, the GEP predictive model is ideal as it delivers a simplistic and easy mathematical equation for future use. The k-fold cross-validation (CV) of the GEP model is also conducted, which verifies the robustness of the GEP predictive model. Furthermore, the parametric study is carried via proposed GEP expression. This confirms that the GEP model accurately covers the influence of all the explanatory variables used for the prediction off  ′   cof FGPC. Thus, the proposed GEP equation can be used in the preliminary design of FGPC.
