AI could be used to recruit terrorists
This fear is also shared by Jonathan Hall, a specialist lawyer and independent reviewer of legislation on terrorism in the United Kingdom, who a few weeks ago gave an interview to the British newspaper Daily Mail, where he stated that ChatGPTBard or other type of chatbot AI could easily be programmed, or even decide for themselves, to spread terrorist ideologies to extremists.
The specialist warned that if an extremist is prepared by an AI to carry out a terrorist attack, or if it is used AI to instigate one, it can be very difficult to prosecute someone legally, as anti-terrorism laws haven’t caught up with new technology.
“Attacks enabled by AI are probably right around the corner… I think it’s entirely conceivable that chatbots AI are programmed, or, worse yet, decide, to propagate a violent extremist ideology,” he said.

“Since the criminal law does not extend to robots, the culprit will get away with it. Nor does the law work reliably when responsibility is shared between man and machine,” he commented.
