Tech Against Terrorism's Executive Director, Adam Hadley, met with Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton at Swansea University to discuss Generative AI.

Tech Against Terrorism took part in a discussion at the Swansea University Bay Library on 24 November 2023. This discussion was organised by the Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC). The centre explores a range of online threats, from terrorism, extremism, and cybercrime to child sexual exploitation and grooming.

During the discussion, Adam Hadley highlighted the role of generative AI in online content moderation:

“At Tech Against Terrorism are also optimistic that generative artificial intelligence can also be used positively to stop terrorists and violent extremists online. That is why we are working on a new AI-powered tool with Microsoft to better detect harmful content."

Adam also urged action against the current terrorist exploitation of certain platforms, particularly during the Israel-Hamas crisis. These platforms are exploited by violent extremists due to their inconsistent policies and practices in content management.
