Study: ChatGPT Matches Terrorist Themes With TRAP-18, Identifies Cybercrimes

According to a study by Charles Darwin University (CDU) researchers published in the Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict found that ChatGPT can be used to identify cyberterrorist. The researchers used four sample statements by terrorists that were given to ChatGPT. The researchers asked ChatGPT about the main themes and topics in the text, and what messages it finds behind those statements.

ChatGPT was able to find the terrorists behind those statements and found the motivation and purpose of each text. The themes concluded by ChatGPT were opposition to secularism and apostate rulers, criticism of mass immigration, retaliation and self-defense, opposition to multiculturalism, struggle and martyrdom and more. ChatGPT was easily able to identify clues that hinted at violence.

The themes identified by ChatGPT also matched with Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol-18 (TRAP-18), a tool which is able to identify potential terrorists. The lead author of the study said that ChatGPT can easily be used as a tool to identify terrorists and it doesn’t even need any additional training to do so.

Even though many LLMs cannot take the place of human judgment, they can still act as an assistant to offer valuable investigation clues. Even though there are concerns about weaponization of AI tools, they can still be helpful in providing a great map to identify terrorists.
