Seven leading AI models were consulted to predict the future of the Israel-Iran conflict, a situation described as a shadow war involving airstrikes, cyberattacks, and proxy battles, but short of full-scale war. Six of the models agreed on prolonged tensions, citing factors like mutual deterrence and U.S. restraint as key to preventing escalation. The only exception was OpenAI's ChatGPT, which forecast a near-term diplomatic resolution, suggesting ongoing negotiations and a revived nuclear deal. Predictions varied from sustained low-intensity conflict lasting three to 24 months to a focus on covert operations. The models warned of potential miscalculations, nuclear threats, and proxy overreach that could trigger escalation. Each AI model considered historical patterns and rational behavior of both Israel and Iran, emphasizing the importance of indirect communications to avoid catastrophic misunderstandings.
