The role of artificial intelligence in combating intellectual terrorism and extremism

Abstract

The study addressed the importance of artificial intelligence in general, and then combating intellectual terrorism and extremism in particular. Developed countries have witnessed a qualitative shift in interest in digital technology and artificial intelligence, which has provided the opportunity to simulate the human mind using modern equipment and machines (computers) and perform tasks that require human intelligence. The rapid development of technological capabilities, the presence of algorithms, the spread of big data, and the expansion of trade and investment efforts in these technologies have contributed to the development of artificial intelligence and increased global interest in it. Although artificial intelligence offers many positives in various areas of life, especially in combating intellectual terrorism and extremism, modern technology and artificial intelligence have contributed to the emergence of new forms of terrorism and extremism via the Internet. With the widespread spread of social media and electronic forums, society has become more vulnerable to the threats of terrorism and extremism. Furthermore, the secrecy provided by these platforms has made terrorist threats more hidden and difficult to uncover the sources of terrorism. Concerns are growing about the use of artificial intelligence algorithms to stimulate extremism and violence in the world, and this situation is one of the most important challenges facing the fight against terrorism and extremism.
