Ali, a postgraduate student from Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi, India, specializing in conflict resolution and strategic affairs, told The Daily Signal he first became aware of the Islamic State’s use of AI at the end of 2023 and the start of 2024, “when ISIS-affiliated online networks began regularly using generative AI to produce multilingual propaganda and automated recruitment material.” Cryptocurrency can be exchanged with anonymity, allowing financiers of the “califate,” the establishment of the Islamic state, to fund fighters with greater trust that their identity won’t be exposed. The Trump administration is “partially” taking the necessary steps to combat the threat of the Islamic State’s use of AI and cryptocurrency, Ali said, explaining, “There has been progress on crypto enforcement, but the U.S. still lacks a coherent strategy for tracking and countering AI-generated extremist content and synthetic networks.”
