Episode 3: What are the legal and governance implications of using AI in counterterrorism?

"The Role of AI in (Counter-)Terrorism” is an ICCT podcast series that explores the role of artificial intelligence in the security space, and specifically how it relates to terrorism and counter-terrorism. This series considers how AI poses a new type of threat but also offers new opportunities to actors in the global security space – through conversations with practitioners, academics and policy-makers. Our final episode will look at the legal and governance implications of using AI. Together with Irakli Beridze, Head of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at UNICRI and Els de Busser, Assistant Professor Cyber Security Governance, we will consider the legal and governmental considerations of AI in national security. Are current legal and governance approaches fit for purpose in a world where terrorists may start using AI? What regulations and ethical considerations should we take into account, and what would be necessary to foster international collaboration in this area?
