exploited by terrorist actors. - Showcase operational use of AI for counter-terrorism and terrorist purposes, including AI-enabled investigations, threat assessments, the misuse of generative technologies for synthetic media production and cyber-enabled attacks.
- Highlight United Nations capacity-building efforts, including collaboration with academic institutes to develop and integrate AI-based tools.
- Discuss how Member States can respond to evolving threats and harness the potential
of responsible, safe, secure, and trustworthy AI in counter-terrorism.
