💥 Boko Haram using AI to build deadlier bombs Boko Haram militants are using artificial intelligence to improve bomb-making and plan operations, according to new reporting, with a source stating the group used AI guidance to identify chemical combinations that significantly increased blast power. "Before, the bomb explosion was not that big, but then they studied it. AI told us what chemicals to put in that made the explosion heavier," the source said. The disclosure raises fresh concerns about how extremist groups in Nigeria's northeast are adapting commercial technology for insurgent purposes, potentially complicating counter-terrorism efforts by security forces already engaged in a long-running campaign against the group.
