A UN-supported Tech Against Terrorism report reveals that many AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, can provide useful responses to terrorism-related queries, especially when safety mechanisms are removed or bypassed. The study urges stricter controls, highlighting significant risks of AI misuse for terrorist purposes.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly involves AI systems (open-weight and abliterated large language models) and their use/misuse. The research shows that abliterated models can provide detailed harmful instructions to terrorists, which could plausibly lead to harm (mass-casualty terrorism). Although no actual terrorist use or harm has been documented, the credible risk of misuse and the demonstrated ability of these AI systems to facilitate harmful acts fits the definition of an AI Hazard. The event does not describe realized harm but a credible potential for harm due to AI system misuse. The article also includes complementary information about responses and governance, but the primary narrative is about the plausible risk, so it is not complementary information. It is not an AI Incident because no harm has yet occurred. It is not unrelated or beneficial use.[AI generated]
