Chat GPT-enabled war. During an online interview in June with the Center for a New American Security, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall stated he has asked his Scientific Advisory Board to “look at the generative AI technologies like ChatGPT and think about the military applications of them”.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has also set up Task Force Lima to leverage the possibilities of integrating AI systems into defense technologies. Secretary Kendall and the DoD are not alone in considering the military applications of ChatGPT.
Over the past few months China’s People’s Liberation Army media has published a multitude of articles on the topic. In one article, written by Retired Major General Hu Xiaofeng (currently Professor at China’s National Defense University), he states, “Undoubtedly, the cutting-edge technology of artificial intelligence represented by ChatGPT will inevitably be applied in the military field”. In general, there is a consensus in the PLA media that Generative AI has a place in warfare. Seven main areas of application are explored including: humanmachine interaction, decision making, network warfare, cognitive domain, logistics, space domain, and training.
