Terrorism, Technology and Society in the 21st Century
Keywords:
terrorism, security, social networks, big data, algorithmsAbstract
In terms of security and criminal prevention, artificial intelligence and algorithmic data-processing have made it possible for a large part of the activities and communications carried out daily by millions of people to be recorded and analysed in real time in order to detect any sign of criminal activity. Among the advantages that this technology has brought to the social and political field, the safe and efficient handling of data and the fact that these processes are carried out without human interference are two of its main highlights. At the same time, terrorism, and particularly that one which arises from the very society it seeks to attack, came to deepen the debate on the need for a surveillance system aimed at recording and analyzing the activities of the population in order to safeguard general welfare and public security. In this article we will address the scope and implications for contemporary societies of the use of new technologies applied to the field of security and, in particular, to the fight against this frequent and particular type of terrorism.Downloads
