In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to how violent non-state actors are using artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve their goals and how AI is being utilized for counterterrorism. Far less attention has been paid, however, to how AI itself—as a “whole-of-society transformative technology”—could change the landscape of political violence in much more fundamental ways. In our cover article this month, Yannick Veilleux-Lepage argues that “AI is reordering labor markets, institutional authority, and the relational worlds in which people live, generating preconditions for political violence independently of whether violent actors adopt the technology themselves.” Using a framework he developed centered on three grievance domains—economic order, state and institutional power, and social and personal fabric—Veilleux-Lepage “considers how violence arising from these grievances may materialize, including through targets and actor types that lie largely outside current counterterrorism monitoring.”
