Tech Against Terrorism report finds AI models like ChatGPT fail to block 52% of requests for terrorist information; safeguards are easily circumvented, particularly in open-source models. Australian authorities flag extremist use of AI for attack planning as a major national security concern, with documented cases linked to 70+ deaths.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models and Generative AI.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building or deploying AI infrastructure, governments are about to mandate what you can't let users do with it - and the bar is rising faster than your safeguards are. The next 18 months will likely see legislation that treats failure to block weaponisation requests as corporate negligence, not a feature request.
