CHATGPT IN DOD ACQUISITIONS
The opportunities and risks of advanced language models. by Lt. Col. Robert Solano
ment preparation, research and communication. As with any new technology, there are also risks associated with the adoption of large language models in the defense industry. Tese risks include potential security breaches, bias in decision-making and unintended consequences. In this article, we will explore both the opportunities and the risks associated with the use of advanced language models like ChatGPT in defense acquisitions and contracting.

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model, which is a computer program designed to generate text based on user input. Although there are many language models, ChatGPT has received the most attention recently for its ability to generate human-like text with remarkable accuracy. ChatGPT was developed by OpenAI, a research organization dedicated to creating and promoting friendly artificial intelligence. OpenAI trained the model using an artificial intelligence technique called reinforcement learning from human feedback. Tis training process involved inputting large amounts of data into the computer program and then providing the program feedback and adjust- ments to improve its performance. ChatGPT was trained on a substantial amount of text estimated to be more than 300 billion words.
ChatGPT's ability to understand and generate coherent and meaningful text has made it a popu- lar tool, attracting more than 1 million users in just one week after its November 2022 release. By January, it was estimated to have reached 100 million monthly active users, making it the fastest- growing consumer application in history.
HOW ADVANCED LANGUAGE MODELS WORK Advanced language models like ChatGPT are developed using sophisticated artificial intelligence computer programing techniques. Developers feed vast amounts of text data into computer programs that analyze and process the information. Te data comes from a variety of sources, such as books, articles and web pages. Te output of the computer program is another type of computer program called a language model, which is capable of understanding and generating human text.

s artificial intelligence continues to advance, large language models like ChatGPT have the potential to revolutionize the way defense acquisition and contracting are performed. With the ability to generate human-like text, language models can automate many of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks involved in procurement, such as docu-
