"It's not just the civilian corporate executives and white-collar workers who are leaning into the generative AI boom at work. Military leaders are diving in too. The top US Army commander in South Korea shared that he is experimenting with generative AI chatbots to sharpen his decision-making, not in the field, but in command and daily work. He said "Chat and I" have become "really close lately.""
""I'm asking to build, trying to build models to help all of us," said Maj. Gen. William 'Hank' Taylor, commanding general of the 8th Army, told reporters during a media roundtable at the annual Association of the United States Army conference in Washington, DC, on Monday. Taylor said he's using the tech to explore how he makes military and personal decisions that affect not just him but the thousands of soldiers he oversees."
"Commanders like Taylor are focused on fast decision-making and how AI could provide an advantage because of a thought process popular with military leaders known as the " OODA Loop." The theory, developed by US fighter pilots during the Korean War, posits that troops who can move decisively before the enemy does - and observe, orient, decide, and act- often have the advantage on the battlefield."
Generative AI chatbots and models are being integrated into military command and administrative workflows to sharpen decision-making. Maj. Gen. William 'Hank' Taylor is experimenting with AI to analyze both military and personal decisions that affect thousands of soldiers while acknowledging the challenge of keeping pace with rapidly developing technology. Commanders aim to accelerate decision cycles to gain advantage, leveraging concepts like the OODA Loop — observe, orient, decide, act — to outpace adversaries. The U.S. military is pursuing aggressive AI adoption across weapons, aircraft, and combat systems with recognition that future combat decisions may need to be made faster than humans alone can manage.
