Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is set to open GenWar, a new lab in 2026, aimed at revolutionizing defense wargaming through generative AI. This initiative seeks to provide faster, more in-depth analyses and allow human players to rapidly test strategies with AI agents, moving beyond traditional labor-intensive wargames.
