AI In Warfare: Study Finds LLM Models Escalate Violence In War Simulations
By Hera Rizwan A study undertaken by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Northeastern University, and the Hoover Wargaming and Crisis Initiative, explored the conduct of five AI models in simulated war scenarios and found that the models chose to escalate even opting for the deployment of nuclear weapons. The study concluded, “All models show signs of sudden and hard-to-predict escalations.” The researchers said, “We observe that models tend to develop arms-race dynamics, leading to greater conflict, and in rare cases, even to the deployment of nuclear we...
