\u201ckriegsspiel\u201d<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to train staff officers in the 19th Century, tabletop exercises have essentially pitted Blue against Red teams, with an umpire to judge.<\/p>\nThe problem is that these wargames are labor-intensive to design and adjudicate, and too cumbersome to allow replay and incorporating lessons learned.<\/p>\n
But AI could yield multiple iterations of a game, or allow a scenario to be redone. For example, players might choose a strategy, only to have a subject matter expert rule that the idea wasn\u2019t realistic.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s rewind the gameplay and go back one turn,\u201d said GenWar Lab program manager Kelly Diaz, who discussed a hypothetical scenario with Defense News. \u201cWe\u2019re going to retry that move. And because it\u2019s all digital, we\u2019ll have a log. Afterward for the post-game analytics, we can kind of trace through how the decisions were being made.\u201d<\/p>\n
To facilitate this, GenWar Lab uses an array of tools. GenWar TTX creates the digital environment and AI agents for the exercise. GenWar Sim \u2014 built on the government-owned Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling, or AFSIM \u2014 allows players to interact with physics-based models used for adjudication.<\/p>\n
Thus, GenWar Sim functions as a translator that lets humans communicate in plain speech with the mathematical models operating behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a human, you give your commands: \u2018I\u2019d like to attack here, I\u2019d like to defend there,\u2019\u201d explained Mather. \u201cWe\u2019ve built code in the modeling and sim engine to read from that database layer and automatically execute those commands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Conversely, the LLMs can communicate with humans in ordinary speech.<\/p>\n
Still, the thought of AI players may give some humans pause. As anyone who has played commercial strategy games can attest, computer players are not the sharpest of opponents.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won\u2019t remotely claim that they\u2019re making optimal decisions,\u201d Mather said.<\/p>\n
However, the hope is that their decisions are realistic enough to facilitate gameplay and allow the players to explore multiple strategies during an exercise.<\/p>\n
Mather and Kelly emphasize that AI will not replace traditional wargaming techniques.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not nearly as in depth, for example, as a traditional ops analysis or modeling and sim study,\u201d Mather said. But AI can offer \u201cthose 70% to 80% solutions that are not the answer, but really accelerate the human learning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
As AI is woven into societal fabric, general consensus is that it will inevitably become part of wargaming. The question is whether AI will dominate in the space.<\/p>\n
Benjamin Jensen, a researcher at the Center for International and Strategic, believes AI can enhance wargames \u2014 if properly documented and evaluated.<\/p>\n
The risk is that \u201cwe find strategic analysis reduced to, \u2018Here is what an LLM said,\u2019\u201d he told Defense News.<\/p>\n
How well LLMs relate to national security policy is also unclear.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe larger challenge is that most foundation models commonly used haven\u2019t been sufficiently benchmarked against strategy and statecraft,\u201d Jensen said. \u201cSo, using AI to support game design, development and execution is a great idea. The question is how far that use goes and how well it is documented to avoid common pitfalls.\u201d<\/p>\n
