UN Report Details Terror Groups' Use of AI to Target Women and Children with Propaganda
A United Nations report highlights that terrorist groups like Islamic State and Al-Qaeda increasingly use artificial intelligence to create and distribute personalized propaganda targeting women, children, and youth. Generative AI enables rapid production and localization of gender-specific content, facilitating radicalization and recruitment globally, including in India. The report warns that these groups exploit social media and gaming platforms, outpacing governments and technology platforms in countering such propaganda, with particular concern over the targeting of vulnerable groups.
