Synthetic forces: why build an AI role player – and is it even possible?

14 Apr 2026

  • Role player automation is both possible and necessary 
  • AI technologies can facilitate automation but the ability to completely replace human interaction is uncertain 
  • Data is key to both fidelity and the future replication of complex behaviours 
  • To maximise benefit, synthetic solutions need to evolve hand in hand with training design, tactics and doctrine.
