US General Uses ChatGPT for Military Decisions

  • At the Association of the US Army Conference in Washington, DC, Major General William 'Hank' Taylor said `Chat and I have become really close lately` and he regularly uses ChatGPT to help make military and personal decisions affecting soldiers in South Korea.
  • Recently, Taylor has been focusing on individual decision-making with his soldiers while the Eighth Army regularly uses AI to modernize predictive analysis and logistical planning.
  • Known LLM issues include ChatGPT’s agreeable answers that prioritize engagement over accuracy, while GPT-5 generates false information `over half the time`, complicating military use.
  • Within the command, AI is applied to assist routine tasks such as writing weekly reports while also informing unit-level direction in the Eighth Army.
  • Last month, OpenAI found nearly 15 percent of work-related ChatGPT conversations involved decision-making, a notable admission from Taylor as the top US military official in Korea.
