Analysis of Military Frontier Technology Development from the Release of ChatGPT-4

It is reported that OpenAI released the multimodal pre-trained grand model GPT-4, whose upgraded capabilities and expanded applications once again lit up the entire network, and GPT-4 is even known as the most advanced system in OpenAI to produce safer and more useful responses.

GPT-4 can solve difficult problems more accurately due to its broader general knowledge and problem-solving capabilities, and its creativity, thinking ability, editing ability, and collaborative nature have all been substantially improved compared to ChatGPT's previous generations. The U.S. Army's idea of using ChatGPT as a breakthrough to use cutting-edge technology for multi-domain operations has also been proven feasible, and its future in the development of military cutting-edge technology is promising.

So, what is the role of ChatGPT-4 in the development of military frontier technology?

What is its significance to the development of military practice?

Analysis of Military Practice Change from ChatGPT-4's Features

The arrival of ChatGPT-4 has not only caused a dramatic impact on the frontier areas of science and technology, but has also had a profound impact on various digital infrastructure construction, education systems, and network communication architectures.

GPT-4, which stands for "Generative pretrained transformer 4," is the fourth generation of GPT software released by OpenAI. GPT-4 software analyzes the huge amount of information from almost the entire Internet, and uses powerful learning capabilities to study how to generate text that sounds like a human brain thinking and reacting, and provides detailed and comprehensive answers to the questions users ask. In addition, OpenAI's GPT-4 has significantly improved the accuracy, creativity and collaboration of the previous three generations of GPT, with data showing that the reliability of its responses has increased by about 40% compared to GPT-3.

ChatGPT uses natural language processing technology, which is one of the six types of AI technologies that can not only extract intelligence from various types of speech, text, and images, but also perform surveillance and eavesdropping tasks, which are of great importance to both themselves and friendly forces.

In addition, the advent of ChatGPT-4 further justifies the USAF's proposed construction goal of developing an intelligent question and answer system using natural language processing technology. The use of an interactive question and answer system is of great value as an aid to help analysts perform big data analysis and extract valid information for commanders to judge situations and give command orders. The U.S. Air Force hopes to build a conversational question-and-answer system operating in a cloud or distributed computing environment based on artificial intelligence technologies such as multi-intelligence source search/retrieval, natural language processing, recommendation engines, and application analytics, which is of great importance to the U.S. military services' joint operations and joint combat command systems. It not only enables battlefield situational awareness, but also quickly extracts effective and valuable information and intelligence from the vast amount of data sources, thus making indelible contributions to operational planning and battlefield situational control.

Overall, ChatGPT-4 is an improvement and integrator of various series of AI systems released by OpenAI in the past. Its revolutionary breakthroughs in text generation capability, learning capability, and data mining capability make it possible for AI technology to indirectly assist in warfare or even dominate the battlefield in the future. Aiming at this, the road of future technology frontier development is also bound to be closely related to AI technology.

Analysis of future technology development from ChatGPT-4

Since the beginning of the 21st century, frontier technologies, led by artificial intelligence, including electronic countermeasures, cyber warfare, space warfare, biological warfare, public opinion warfare, nuclear deterrence, and hypersonic weapons, have become the dominant players in influencing military change, exerting a majestic power that can turn the tide of war. Today, artificial intelligence technology is bearing the brunt of a new revolution in science and technology frontier technology, bringing profound changes to the development of military practice.

The top 10 technology foreword trends for 2023, as announced by various countries, are led by generative artificial intelligence (AI), followed by controlled fusion energy, 3D printing technology, metaverse, new energy sources, quantum technology, 6G technology, digital office, AR technology, and high-performance computing. Most of these 10 cutting-edge technologies are no longer new to us, and there are many military masterpieces that have left a lasting impression on us.

Today, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still in full swing, and new weapons of all kinds are coming on the scene, giving us an impressive performance every time. At this time, Russia, the U.S. and other military powers will certainly keep abreast of the trend of development of the times, grasp the laws of future warfare, strive to use ChatGPT-4 as an entry point, grasp the future development trend of the frontier of science and technology, pay great attention to the technological dividends brought by ChatGPT-4, and strive to gain a head start in the development of this unprecedented change of the century.

Overall, the arrival of ChatGPT-4, with its powerful map recognition, semantic understanding, breakthrough text editing capability, higher accuracy, and manipulability, also has great potential for development in the field of military practice. However, it is still worthwhile to test the credibility of the generative AI technology currently used in ChatGPT in warfare. The standard we require is not only based on a large amount of data summary and powerful computing power, but also requires more complex inference and analysis.
