Description
This research aims to develop wargaming capabilities enhanced by artificial intelligence, focused on the implementation of Second Order Theory of Mind (SO ToM). Achieving this objective will further the defence community's pursuit of ‘Decision Advantage’, allowing wargamers to understand how they are being understood by opponents in real time. This research is an interdisciplinary effort bringing together the fields of computer science, engineering, mathematics, psychology, and defence studies. This project rests on the ambition to develop an AI tool that allows for the modelling of ToM within adversarial scenarios.
This ongoing research project will contribute directly to efforts to develop and maintain ‘Decision Advantage’ by generating real time responses to scenarios where decision makers are testing their skills and ideas. While our research will not perfectly mimic a real adversary, our approach will provide a departure from current practice providing new opportunities for trainers and learners alike. This will act as a step towards a new generation of wargaming and represent the use of AI Agents in a training context as partners, rather than simple tools to speed up processes.
