Outline

This paper highlights the growing use of commercial large-scale language models (LLMs) in US national security settings and proposes two simple, non-technical interventions to mitigate the excessive risk-taking tendencies of LLMs, as previously suggested. Applying these interventions to existing war game designs, the researchers demonstrated a significant reduction in risk escalation throughout the game. Therefore, the argument that LLMs should be restricted in national security settings is premature, and practical measures must be developed to ensure their safe use.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Recognizing the growing trend of utilizing commercial LLMs in national security fields, we emphasize the urgent need to establish safe ways to utilize them.
To propose and validate simple, non-technical interventions to mitigate the risk-escalating tendency of LLM.
Rather than restricting the use of LLM in national security fields, present practical alternatives for safe use.
Limitations:
Further research is needed to determine the generalizability of the proposed intervention and its applicability to other types of LLMs or situations.
There is a need to examine the real-world applicability of war game simulation results.
There is a need for a multifaceted review of LLM's response to various national security scenarios and intervention measures.
