The intersection of AI, cyberterrorism and hybrid warfare: a new paradigm in global security

This article explores the relationship between cyberterrorism, artificial intelligence (AI), and hybrid warfare, with a particular emphasis on how AI-driven technologies are changing how modern combat is conducted. The study looks at how AI strengthens cyberterrorism's capabilities and combines with more general hybrid warfare strategies to increase its influence on international security. An extensive case study of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine shows how AI-enhanced cyber operations target vital infrastructure and sway public opinion. The paper also discusses the inadequacies in the present international legal frameworks governing AI in conflict, as well as the ethical issues, such as civilian injury and responsibility in autonomous systems. The paper's conclusion offers strategic recommendations for thwarting these new dangers through enhanced AI defenses and global collaboration.
