Application of large language models for developing professional qualities of modern military personnel

Introduction. The article examines a comprehensive consideration of the topic of applying large language models in the training of future officers, covering both theoretical foundations and practical aspects of applying knowledge about artificial intelligence that allow for self-organization of the process of forming professional qualities of modern military personnel preparing to fulfill their duty in complex conditions of rapidly changing operational situations.

Purpose setting. The research is aimed at solving the problem of determining the theoretical foundations of professional training of military personnel, as well as identifying the features of transformation of requirements for military-professional competencies in the context of digitization of the military sphere. The current stage of human development is characterized by rapid progress in the field of information technologies and artificial intelligence, which has a revolutionary impact on all spheres of social life, including the military domain. The emergence and active development of large language models (LLMs) represents one of the most significant technological breakthroughs of the last decade, opening new horizons for transforming military education systems and professional training of the Armed Forces.

Methodology and methods of the study. This research is based on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates achievements of military pedagogy, psychology, sociology, and other human sciences, as revealed in the works of I.A. Alyokhin, A.V. Barabanshchikov, O.Yu. Efremov, V.P. Masyagin, T. G. Mukhina, S.N. Sorokoumova, B.T. Tukhvatullin, and others. We used a comparative experiment in control and experimental groups of cadets. The effectiveness of applying large language models was determined based on the following criteria for evaluating professional qualities: analytical abilities; speed of operational decision-making; quality of tactical planning; adaptability to new conditions; work with information flows; team interaction; technological culture. Military-professional activity is characterized by a number of specific features that distinguish it from civilian professions.

Results. This research developed a scientifically grounded concept for forming professional qualities of modern military personnel under conditions of applying large language models and determined effective methods for integrating AI technologies into the military-professional education system.

Conclusion. Prospects for developing military specialist training using AI require a comprehensive approach that combines technological innovations with fundamental principles of military education. The success of this transformation depends on the ability of military organizations to adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape while preserving the core values of professional military service.
