Sommario/riassunto

"This insightful book examines the use of advanced technology, specifically artificial intelligence (AI), both as a tool in the hands of terrorists and as a powerful security counter-measure. It sheds light on the legal issues arising from the presence of AI in national security matters and identifies how AI can be regulated in this sensitive field. Arianna Vedaschi and Chiara Graziani illustrate the importance of



safeguarding human rights while utilising advanced counter-terrorism tools and analyse the consequent legal challenges posed by AI. Adopting a comparative legal perspective, this book provides a comprehensive overview of counter-terrorism in Western democracies and advocates for a regulatory framework on the use of AI in national security. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of comparative law, constitutional and administrative law, global and transnational law and terrorism and security law. Judicial and human rights practitioners will also benefit from this volume"--
