Trends Research and Advisory has just released a new study entitled “Artificial Intelligence and Terrorism: Mechanisms and Ways of Confrontation.” The study analyzes how terrorist groups use artificial intelligence, and provide solutions to limit this, using artificial intelligence itself. The study was conducted by Hamad Al Hosani, Researcher at the Department of Political Islam. The study highlights the diverse uses of artificial intelligence in terrorist operations, including the pre-attack stage, financing, implementation and promotion. The study indicated that terrorist groups use techniques such as “denial-of-service attacks,” “malware,” “decryption,” “use of drones,” and “spreading false propaganda” to achieve their goals. The study recommends a set of solutions to confront the use of artificial intelligence by terrorist groups. They include undermining extremist ideas through exporting counter-content that contains facts that contradict the terrorist ideas promoted. They also include determining the timing and location of potential terrorist attacks by tracking members of terrorist groups’ use of the Internet, and financing transactions, in addition to tracking terrorist financing using techniques such as OSINT framework. Other means include improving the decision-making process in combating extremism and terrorism, as well as in analyzing big data for counter-terrorism purposes. Also, there is a need to improve digital cooperation between agencies concerned with confronting and combating terrorism. The study confirms that artificial intelligence, despite its enormous potential in combating terrorism, also poses some risks that must be guarded against. It points to concerns about human rights violations, such as spying on individuals and restricting freedom of expression. The study expects that artificial intelligence will become a fundamental tool in the future confrontation against terrorism and extremism. It stresses the importance of developing advanced smart applications for forecasting, immunization, and prosecution to confront this growing threat.
