Episode 4989: AI: THE NEW TERRORIST THREAT
from Renegade Talk Radio · host Renegade Talk Radio
Artificial Intelligence is the newest weapon for terrorists to add to their arsenal. It is especially effective to groom and recruit people who are most vulnerable - those who are lonely, depressed, or have some other psychological issue that makes them eager to have a chatbot to talk to and become their new friend. As it is, countless lone wolves have been radicalized online. Imagine how much more convincing a friendly chatbot could be, while spewing terrorist propaganda. You will hear why demands are growing for regulation of AI before it becomes like Frankenstein - an out of control monster threatening the human race. You will also hear about some of the forms of AI that are especially useful to terrorists. Ads for chatbots appeal to the very people ISIS, Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations target to recruit. These ads say, “Need a friend? Talk to a chatbot….”Then you’ll hear three real life examples of young men who were radicalized and recently convicted of terrorism - from the UK to Kansas: Matthew King, Ali Abdillahi and Andrew Dade Patterson. Fortunately, they were stopped in the nick of time, by authorities who were tipped off by the terrorists' family and by their posts online, before they did grave damage. So, this will enable you to envision how AI could have radicalized them faster and accelerated their plans for terror attacks, such that they resulted in countless dead and injured victims.
