Simulated war scenarios reveal AI's tendency to push toward nuclear strikes
Winners & losers: In a world where military planners are increasingly turning to AI for strategy modeling, a recent experiment from King's College London offers a serious warning: when left to their own devices, AI systems tend to go nuclear. Dr. Kenneth Payne, a defense studies scholar at the university, tested three of the most advanced LLMs: GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Google Gemini 3 Flash, by placing them in a series of simulated global crises. The results revealed alarming patterns of aggression and miscalculation that challenge assumptions about AI's potential role in warfare management.
