Jonathan Hall, a UK government adviser, warns that artificial intelligence will be exploited by terrorists and current legislation is not ready.

In his annual report, Jonathan Hall emphasized that generative artificial intelligence will amplify terrorist propaganda and make it easier to prepare attacks. He noted that the UK has been slow to respond to emerging threats and highlighted the risks of chatbots, which could radicalize vulnerable individuals. Hall also warned that AI could be used to circumvent security and develop biological or cyber weapons. The UK government has set up a dedicated AI security research lab to counter these threats.
