This article explores the potential risks of chatGPT, a language generation model developed by OpenAI, for counterterrorism and international security. With its ability to generate human-like text, chatGPT has rapidly gained popularity and become one of the fastest-growing consumer applications in history, with over 100 million active users. However, practical and ethical concerns regarding its strengths and weaknesses remain under debate. Terrorists' increasing use of modern communication technologies has made the intelligence problem more complex, as access to critical data becomes increasingly challenging for intelligence agencies. Terrorists have also adopted new technologies and implemented operational security measures to evade sophisticated intelligence collection operations. Furthermore, artificial intelligence has enabled individuals and groups to exploit newer technologies, heightening the threat of cyberattacks and espionage. This article analyzes the potential risks of chatGPT in four key areas: the implications of artificial intelligence for future threats and international security, the impact of chatGPT on cyberterrorism and artificial intelligence, the dangers of fragmented and secondary information for violence and sabotage operations, and conducting psychological warfare against targets. By providing insights and recommendations, this study can assist policymakers and researchers in utilizing artificial intelligence technology effectively while mitigating potential risks.
