⧉ AI and the Evolving Threat of Violent Extremism

In an era marked by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, violent extremist organizations are harnessing novel tools—from deepfake propaganda to algorithmically targeted recruitment—to amplify their reach and radicalization potential. This interdisciplinary panel brings together leaders from the tech sector, government, and civil society to map the contours of these emerging threats, showcase effective mitigation strategies, and explore the regulatory and human rights frameworks needed to safeguard open societies. Through a balanced discussion, we will define the AI-driven threat landscape, highlight case studies of successful interventions, and interrogate how policy, platform accountability, and respect for fundamental freedoms can cohere into a sustainable response.
