Critical Acclaim
‘This book provides important insights into the critical intersection of AI with counter-terrorism in democratic countries. Addressing the ways in which technology shapes both terrorism and counter-terrorism, the authors provide a fresh and distinctive take on the triangle of rights, counter-terrorism and AI. Technically proficient, insightful and thoughtful the book will be an asset to scholars and policy-makers.’

‘While states and terrorists have always used emerging technology in their endeavours, there has seldom been an emerging technology with the reach, implications, and possibilities of AI. In this masterful book, Vedaschi and Graziani skilfully merge law, computer science, psychology and more to provide the authoritative account of how AI enables terrorist actors, promises security, and challenges the rule of law.’
