Singapore Warns of AI-Fueled Terrorist Threats Emerge
Published on 8.2.25
The Singapore Terrorism Threat Assessment Report highlights a volatile global landscape fueled by conflicts like the Gaza crisis and extremist ideologies, which have manifested in Singapore. The report notes the emergence of AI as a factor in the growing complexity of terrorist threats, with new technologies like AI and 3D printing featured in self-radicalisation cases. A 17-year-old Islamic State supporter used an AI chatbot to generate a pledge of allegiance, while another youth searched for instructions on how to produce ammunition using an AI chatbot. The Internal Security Department warns that potential terror activities will feature emerging technologies like AI, which can be harnessed by terrorist organisations to accelerate radicalisation and recruitment through disinformation, manipulate individuals, and create chaos.
