Spring 2025 CINSER Webinar Series

The Malicious Manipulation and Use of AI Algorithms in the Hands of Extremist Groups

Speaker: Spiros Bamiatzis, Department Chair, and Professor of Cybersecurity, IvyTech Community College, Lake County

Date and Time: April 2, 2025 11 AM – 11:45 Central Time

Abstract: Extremist groups have increasingly spread dangerous content by exploiting AI tools
such as ChatGPT. Any attempt to block these groups’ content is challenging due to
"jailbreak" mechanisms and the flexibility these models have in continuously learning
and adapting to new data. In this presentation, we will describe the existing general
landscape of AI, along with some necessary definitions pertaining to machine
learning, deep learning, and narrow and general intelligence. Furthermore, we will
develop the concept of how new technologies contextualize the malicious use of AI.
Following that we will demonstrate the impact of AI in three categories of threat:
cyber, physical and political. We will attempt to outline the response, the inventory of
cybersecurity tools for the prevention of the malicious use of AI, and the presentation
will close with an investigating look into the future malicious uses of AI by extremist
groups and individuals.

This webinar is hosted by the Illiana Consortium for Intelligence and Critical Technology (IC2Tech)
