Telegraph: ISIS recruits members with artificial intelligence in England

According to Isna, the English newspaper “Telegraph” has revealed that the ISIS terrorist group used artificial intelligence technology as a recruiting tool in Britain for the first time; An issue that has caused serious concerns among the intelligence agencies of this country.

According to this report, the British internal security service “MI5” and the foreign intelligence service “MI6” are especially monitoring the process of ISIS’s use of artificial intelligence in the dissemination of propaganda and recruitment operations, because it is feared that ISIS and Al-Qaeda in West Asia and the Horn of Africa are recovering their strength.

MI5 chief Ken McCallum warned in the annual threat report released last month: “Foreign-based groups are still trying to channel terrorism into the UK and Europe. Al-Qaeda and ISIS have become ambitious once again and are taking advantage of the instability in various regions to establish stronger bases.

In addition to trying to instigate and direct attacks in Europe, ISIS has launched a new campaign to recruit foreign fighters to Syria, the Telegraph reports. At the height of ISIS’s power, more than 30,000 foreign fighters – including 900 British citizens – traveled to West Asia. Many of them were killed and a large number of returnees were prosecuted.

Now it is feared that by using new technologies and social networks, a new generation of British youth will be attracted to ISIS. Last week, an 18-year-old teenager from South London was arrested at Gatwick Airport while trying to board a flight to Istanbul and was charged with planning to join ISIS in Syria.

The Telegraph report adds that the movements of ISIS in Syria have increased in recent months and the small cells of this group have resorted to guerrilla attacks against the government forces and the “Syrian Democratic Forces”. At the same time, ISIS is using artificial intelligence technology alongside social networks to deliver its messages to a global audience at an unprecedented speed. With the help of artificial intelligence, Arabic documents and materials – including ISIS’s weekly editorials – are translated into dozens of languages ​​and then published on platforms like Facebook, where they find a wide audience before being deleted.

Meanwhile, the British Royal Air Force continues its military engagement against ISIS in the region. In September, a suspected ISIS member was killed in a British missile strike in northern Syria. This attack is the latest British operation in the framework of “Operation Shader”; A mission whose purpose is to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

The Telegraph notes that while the United States has announced that it will end its mission in Iraq within a 12-month period, the United Kingdom has kept Operation Shedder open and shifted its focus to Syria to prevent the creation of a new ISIS base in the country.
