GoKawiilHouse Intelligence Committee flags AI-enabled terror threats in 9/11 review report
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a report assessing U.S. counterterrorism progress since the September 11, 2001 attacks, warning that advanced AI systems could help terrorists or hostile actors build weapons of mass destruction and plan deadly attacks. The panel called on intelligence agencies and policymakers to prepare for so-called 'Black Swan' scenarios in which frontier AI models lower the barrier for rogue actors seeking to cause mass casualties.
