Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen at several levels in information technology and military uses, especially in lethal autonomous robot systems (LARS). The possible use of LARS by terrorists is the most important threat to international humanity, especially when some states choose to use terrorists rather than state armies, as we have seen in Syria, Libya, and Yemen. Since its appearance, terrorism has become a real threat to international security, and states have made great investments to bring it to an end. However, the threat is still increasing, even as states have used technological developments to produce more sophisticated arms. Terrorist organizations, as often as states, have used the innovative technologies in their crimes, which is not strange when we consider that some terrorist organizations are funded and supported by states. The most important risk is that terrorists’ access to LARS is possible and easy.
