US Military is trialing GenAI for battle strategy simulations via video games, unveils research
The US Military is currently investigating the utilization of generative AI systems such as OpenAI's ChatGPT for important military tasks. The US Military is now employing computerized military video games to experiment with tactics and war planning using AI.
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is exploring the potential of OpenAI's generative AI solutions for strategizing combat operations, within a virtual military video game setting.
According to an article by the New Scientist, researchers from the US Army are using OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-4 Vision models to gather information on virtual battlefields, distinguish between allies and adversaries, and provide military intelligence on attack and defense tactics. In addition to these, they are also making use of two other AI models that are built on older technology.
During their tests, AI aides were assigned a task to wipe out all opposing forces and safeguard a particular target location. After getting the task, the AI aides devised multiple strategies, which were later fine-tuned by a user functioning as a leader. Though OpenAI's GPT models outperformed the rest, they also led to more losses while achieving the goals of the mission.
The inclusion of generative AI in military tactics is merely a fraction of the US Army's broader initiative to utilize artificial intelligence.
The US Department of Defense's notable AI endeavor, Project Maven, has demonstrated its effectiveness in missions such as pinpointing rocket launchers in Yemen and surface ships in the Red Sea. Additionally, it has been instrumental in assisting with target recognition for attacks in Iraq and Syria, as stated in a Bloomberg report.
Nonetheless, the possible use of AI in combat situations brings up significant moral issues. Giving machines the authority to make decisions that can result in deaths is more akin to the Terminator film series than the hopeful image frequently linked with AI. Yet, the military continues to invest in AI development.
The Pentagon has asked for considerable financial support from US legislators to improve its artificial intelligence and networking abilities, as noted by DefenseScoop. Furthermore, roles such as Chief Digital and AI Officer have been created to aid in the integration and utilization of this technology across the department.
