How and to what extent terrorists and violent extremists have interacted with generative AI so far, identifing potential ways in which they could misuse generative AI in the future, and contextualize these threats with the likely broader impacts of generative AI. In doing so, I will seek to identify a likely trajectory for the abuse of this technology by terrorist actors, and conclude with some initial recommendations for policymakers and practitioners.
