Risks of Bioterrorism Escalating Due to Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

With its widespread applicability, artificial intelligence (AI) is perhaps the most significant new technology and our reliance on technology is growing in the modern world, but technological progress is not always positive. Research and innovations in technology can have both positive and negative effects on society; this is known as technology's dual nature. In order to draw attention to the possibility of AI-enabled bioterrorism, this study will concentrate on artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies. Terrorists and criminals have been using new tactics more often in recent years to endanger the wealth and safety of numerous states. In order to draw attention to the possibility of AI-enabled bioterrorism, this study will explore this sinister side of artificial intelligence. To give a clearer picture of the growing threat of bioterrorism with the usage of AI, the researcher has looked into the matter utilizing secondary and primary (Report)sources. Qualitative along with historical and analytical predictive methods have been employed to develop substantial arguments. AI and biological data are two factors that are adding to the growing threat of bioterrorism as technology develops. The study argues that since AI is likely to be used for bioterrorism, more counterterrorism measures are required. It is argued that the application of AI to prevent and combat bioterrorism and terrorism must receive immediate attention. It assesses AI progress as well as its application to counterterrorism.
