The morphing terror threat: How AI, younger recruits, and evolving warfare are reshaping terrorism
TERRORISM AFFAIRS: From far-right-jihadist combos, to terrorists acting like militaries, to AI, terrorism has never been harder to defend against, ICT’s new counterterrorism head tells 'Post.'
Assessment
The head of ICT's counterterrorism division is warning that the threat landscape has fundamentally changed, blending far-right and jihadist ideologies, adopting military-style tactics, and leveraging artificial intelligence. This convergence makes traditional defense models obsolete. The key question is whether intelligence agencies can adapt their structures and legal tools fast enough to counter threats that no longer fit neat categories. Watch for how governments respond to the challenge of regulating AI in the hands of non-state actors.
