Key Takeaways
- The study by researchers at the National Defense University in China created an AI-powered ‘virtual commander’ to oversee war game exercises.
- This virtual commander mirrors all aspects of a human commander, including experience and personality traits, within a laboratory setting.
- In large-scale computer war games involving all branches of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the AI commander has been granted unprecedented command authority, learning from these simulations.
- The study also explored how the ‘AI commander’ could exhibit distinct personality traits or replicate historical military leaders to help troops understand their commanders better.
- Given gaps in senior leadership availability and the importance of wargaming for China’s military due to a lack of contemporary operational experience, it is logical that they would turn to generative AI for training exercises.
- Military simulations can reveal unexpected activities or responses, proactively identify opportunities and risks, and facilitate learning among leaders. However, these are not widely used in business contexts.
- Generative AI presents an opportunity for businesses to use simulations involving subjective and human elements, benefiting from the insights they provide.
