Abstract: 

This article illustrates how AI used in counter-terrorism is currently dealt with by the emerging global AI governance. It shows that counter-terrorism represents a problematic exception in many of the legal regulations of AI that are emerging. At the same time, while it is somehow addressed in counter-terrorism reports and best practices, a legal conversation about AI within the global counter-terrorism architecture is also problematically lacking. The article ends by putting forward an urgent call to international institutions to do more to regulate the use of AI in counter-terrorism as this technology may imply important risks in terms of human rights abuses by powerful actors.
