It's something that has appeared in fiction writing on imagined future wars but is also being looked at right now.
AI "can shape the wargames and actually the whole future of war," Yasir Atalan, an associate data fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Business Insider.
In February 2023, for instance, the US military let AI successfully pilot a fighter jet and engage in simulated air-to-air combat.
Wargaming expert Ivanka Barzashka has also raised concerns that AI may obscure explanations for actions, potentially leading to faulty conclusions.
"When people are using these LLMs in their approach, they need to be transparent, they need to show their prompting," Atalan said.
