UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that AI and emerging technologies are being exploited by terrorist groups like Al-Qaida and ISIS to recruit, finance and plan attacks. He stressed global cooperation to close gaps, while noting instability, poverty and conflict fuel extremism, though tech can also aid counter-terror efforts and early threat detection.
United Nations: Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sounded the alarm on Monday against emerging technologies "super-charging" terrorism and said better cooperation among countries can "close critical gaps".
He said that in South Asia, "affiliates of Al-Qaida and Da'esh [Islamic State terror outfit] and other terrorist groups persist", as also in Africa and the Middle East, in threatening nations and people.
"Violent extremist narratives, including those based on xenophobia, racism, and other forms of intolerance, or in the name of religion or belief, pose deadly domestic threats in many nations," he said.
Issuing his warning about the growing threat, he said terrorists have grown adept at exploiting emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and unmanned weapons.
