Applying AI Techniques to Improve Wargaming Design and Delivery
- Building an archive of past wargames against which we can apply the right AI tools will enable key insights to be surfaced when needed during the planning, execution, and analysis of future games.
- LLMs can be employed to search the many deliberations made during a wargame both to summarize in real time the proceedings as well as extract the key moments and decisions of a game.
- AI/LLMs may be used to assist planners with translating research objectives into data collection plans; and to seek out those critical moments in the wargamer discussions which may inform the research objectives of the game.
- The best applications of AI to wargaming will be to remove technical barriers to realism, not supplant human decision making. • In game design, techniques to add the complex constraints of the real world to provoke the complex dilemmas of real operating scenarios will be most effective where provoking real-world complex dilemmas may happen even at a low fidelity such as generating a simple "tweet."
