- Abstract summary: We propose textbfWarAgent, an LLM-powered multi-agent AI system, to simulate historical international conflicts.
By evaluating the simulation effectiveness, we examine the advancements and limitations of cutting-edge AI systems' abilities.
Our findings offer data-driven and AI-augmented insights that can redefine how we approach conflict resolution and peacekeeping strategies.

- Abstract: Can we avoid wars at the crossroads of history? This question has been
pursued by individuals, scholars, policymakers, and organizations throughout
human history. In this research, we attempt to answer the question based on the
recent advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models
(LLMs). We propose \textbf{WarAgent}, an LLM-powered multi-agent AI system, to
simulate the participating countries, their decisions, and the consequences, in
historical international conflicts, including the World War I (WWI), the World
War II (WWII), and the Warring States Period (WSP) in Ancient China. By
evaluating the simulation effectiveness, we examine the advancements and
limitations of cutting-edge AI systems' abilities in studying complex
collective human behaviors such as international conflicts under diverse
settings. In these simulations, the emergent interactions among agents also
offer a novel perspective for examining the triggers and conditions that lead
to war. Our findings offer data-driven and AI-augmented insights that can
redefine how we approach conflict resolution and peacekeeping strategies. The
implications stretch beyond historical analysis, offering a blueprint for using
AI to understand human history and possibly prevent future international
conflicts. Code and data are available at

AI systems need to be explainable to the humans in the loop.
We will discuss how the AI agent can use mental models to either conform to human expectations, or change those expectations through explanatory communication.
While the main focus of the book is on cooperative scenarios, we will point out how the same mental models can be used for obfuscation and deception.

We argue that the recent embrace of machine learning in the development of autonomous weapons systems (AWS) creates serious risks to geopolitical stability and the free exchange of ideas in AI research.
ML is already enabling the substitution of AWS for human soldiers in many battlefield roles, reducing the upfront human cost, and thus political cost, of waging offensive war.
Further, the military value of AWS raises the specter of an AI-powered arms race and the misguided imposition of national security restrictions on AI research.

This paper presents BattleAgent, an emulation system that combines the Large Vision-Language Model and Multi-agent System.
It aims to simulate complex dynamic interactions among multiple agents, as well as between agents and their environments.
It emulates both the decision-making processes of leaders and the viewpoints of ordinary participants, such as soldiers.
