Terrorism, bio weapons & cyberattacks?

Success in fighting terrorism requires protecting against every possible threat, every single time. Meanwhile, a successful terrorist attack only needs to get lucky once.

Now, more than ever before in history, a single person assisted by AI could create unparalleled destruction. They could unleash a social media virus that ignites mass hysteria, deploy a software virus that cripples critical infrastructure, or even engineer a biological pathogen that spreads through global travel hubs, triggering a deadly pandemic.

Authorities will suddenly find themselves at a huge disadvantage, lacking prior experience in preparing for these new forms of AI-assisted harm.

New protective organizations must be established to gather the most creative professionals and task them with devising every imaginable potential threat in order to develop safety countermeasures.

Defeating AI terrorism will be less a battle of experience or intelligence and more a battle of imagination.
