Artificial Intelligence is the newest weapon for terrorists to add

to their arsenal. It is especially effective to groom and recruit

people who are most vulnerable – those who are lonely,

depressed, or have some other psychological issue that makes

them eager to have a chatbot to talk to and become their new

friend. As it is, countless lone wolves have been radicalized

online. Imagine how much more convincing a friendly chatbot

could be, while spewing terrorist propaganda.

You will hear why demands are growing for regulation of AI

before it becomes like Frankenstein – an out of control monster

threatening the human race. You will also hear about some of

the forms of AI that are especially useful to terrorists. Ads for

chatbots appeal to the very people ISIS, Al Qaeda and other

terrorist organizations target to recruit. These ads say, “Need

a friend? Talk to a chatbot….”

Then you’ll hear three real life examples of young men who

were radicalized and recently convicted of terrorism – from the

UK to Kansas: Matthew King, Ali Abdillahi and Andrew Dade

Patterson. Fortunately, they were stopped in the nick of time,

by authorities who were tipped off by the terrorists’ family

and by their posts online, before they did grave damage. So,

this will enable you to envision how AI could have radicalized

them faster and accelerated their plans for terror attacks, such

that they resulted in countless dead and injured victims.
