Introduction
The role of artificial intelligence in terrorist recruitment has grown exponentially, which has had a significant impact on the way extremist groups interact with vulnerable individuals online. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence, deepfake technology and autonomous chatbots have made it much easier for terrorist organisations to amplify their propaganda, personalise radicalisation efforts and circumvent counter-terrorism monitoring. These developments present a direct challenge to digital platforms, intelligence, and policymakers, as AI enables extremist content to spread with greater speed, sophistication and resilience against traditional countermeasures.
This Insight examines the current landscape of AI-enhanced terrorist recruitment, focusing on the ways groups like Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) have integrated AI into their radicalisation strategies. The piece explores the latest AI-driven threats, analysing how extremist groups exploit technology to automate recruitment and improve their ideological dissemination. It also suggests counter-terrorism responses, highlighting AI-based detection mechanisms, algorithmic counter-narratives and proactive monitoring efforts. By providing a comprehensive overview of these trends, this Insight aims to offer practical solutions for policymakers, security operators and technology companies seeking to prevent the terrorist exploitation of AI-based tools.
