WASHINGTON, September 12 – RIA Novosti. Terrorists are increasingly experimenting with generative artificial intelligence, creating new security threats, the US Department of Homeland Security told RIA Novosti.
“Terrorists are increasingly experimenting with generative AI,” the ministry said.
The department explained that new technologies in the hands of terrorists become a tool for creating propaganda and studying methods of using explosives and biological weapons.
“Advances in AI and machine learning can accelerate terrorist activity, making it more scalable and difficult to detect,” the ministry said.
