Whether in healthcare, finance, or education, AI is becoming increasingly common nowadays. AI has accelerated the transformation by introducing new technologies and weapons in terrorist activities. AI has not only advanced the weaponry of terrorist organisations, but it has also provided tools for generating propaganda videos without leaving any trace of recognition. Over the past decade, AI has been increasingly used to address terrorism. Studies have shown that the internet has become a key instrument for online radicalisation and recruitment of youngsters. Due to AI, terrorist organisations have marked a shift from training camps to digital radicalisation. This evolving landscape introduces a new concept of “digital shadow wars.” Unlike traditional warfare, these digital shadow wars have characteristics like invisibility and deniability. These characteristics are now often used by terrorist organisations to carry out their operations covertly. This new form of terrorism is known as “Terrorism 2.0,” characterised by both traditional and modern techniques.
