30.06.2025 | Hatice VAROL DAĞDELEN

The study examines the evolving predictive tactical approaches of states to counter terrorism by utilizing emerging artificial intelligence technologies in a multidimensional manner. The subject under scrutiny in the present study is the development of artificial intelligence in general, and which methods are most prominent in the field of counterterrorism. In this context, firstly the concept of artificial intelligence is discussed, and then the historical development of the concept is focused upon. In the following discussion, the subset of artificial intelligence that is applicable to counterterrorism is analyzed, and the predictive tactical advantages of these subsets are explained. The study delineates a predictive tactical approach to the terrorism threat, accompanied by illustrative applications of technology. The methodological approach employed is qualitative and interpretive. The findings obtained at the conclusion of the study indicate that, despite the success achieved in the field of security by artificial intelligence technologies, there is a necessity for a strict control mechanism with regard to ethical and moral responsibility. It is imperative that the effective and beneficial use of artificial intelligence in the field of security is predicated on the establishment of moral and legal use, transparency, accountability, and systems determined by national and international standards.
