AI Summary

US law‑enforcement agencies, from the FBI to local police, are issuing alerts that terrorists are turning to generative‑AI chatbots to design attacks and that anti‑AI extremist groups are also emerging. The warnings reference a May 2025 incident in Palm Springs where a 25‑year‑old detonated a car bomb outside a fertility clinic, killing himself and wounding four people. That attack highlighted the vulnerability of reproductive‑care sites and confirmed FBI concerns that bad actors could exploit AI to plan and carry out terror plots.
