Extremists might use AI to plan attacks, Home Office warns

Suella Braverman says risk of major terrorist incident in UK is increasing

Extremists might use artificial intelligence to plan more sophisticated terror attacks, the Home Office has warned, amid a resurgence in activity by al-Qaida and Islamic state.

The risk of a major incident in the UK is increasing, Suella Braverman said, accelerated by AI, the expected release of terror-connected prisoners this year and an “evolving” threat from Islamist groups.
