Euronews covers a concerning report from European intelligence agencies detailing how ISIS and other extremist groups have adopted generative AI tools to produce high-quality propaganda and recruit new members. The article explains that these groups are using AI video generators to create realistic fake news anchors and religious figures that spread radical messages in multiple languages, bypassing traditional language barriers. The content is designed to be emotionally manipulative and is disseminated rapidly across social media platforms.

The report highlights the legal obligations of tech platforms under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) to mitigate these risks. However, regulators admit that the sheer volume and sophistication of AI-generated extremist content make manual moderation nearly impossible. The article discusses calls for stricter "Know Your Customer" (KYC) regulations for access to powerful AI models to prevent their use by sanctioned entities and terrorist organizations.
