UN Counter-Terrorism Chief Warns of AI-Driven Terrorist Threat on 9/11 Anniversary

The UN Office of Counter-Terrorism head Eihab Omaish warned that terrorist groups are increasingly leveraging AI and new technologies, marking a shift in threat landscape 25 years after 9/11. The statement is a warning, not an incident report, and reflects growing institutional concern about AI-enabled terrorism. This matters as it signals potential future regulatory and security responses.
