AI Extremism: Navigating Emerging Threats in the Workplace [ASIS Webinar]

Contributed by the Human Threat Management Community and the Extremism & Political Instability Community

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the threat landscape, enabling extremist actors to scale influence, weaponize information, and exploit workplace vulnerabilities in unprecedented ways. Subject matter experts from the Extremism and Political Instability Community (EPIC) and the Human Threat Management Community (HTMC) join for this webinar to examines how AI-driven tools and tactics are fueling sophisticated forms of extremist activity and what security professionals can do to stay ahead of these risks. 

Participants in this webinar will be supported to:

• Describe ways in which automated AI-powered threat campaigns are being used to harass, dox, and coordinate misinformation targeting corporate brands and executives.
• Discuss the rise of insider threats enabled by AI-assisted reconnaissance and next-generation social engineering.
• Identify the dangers of identity spoofing and reputational harm through hyper-realistic synthetic media and deepfakes.
• Identify AI-generated planning tactics that facilitate facility mapping and expose physical vulnerabilities.
• Detect the risks posed by radicalized employees who leverage AI tools to sabotage infrastructure or leak sensitive information.

Drawing on case studies and expert insights, the webinar will deliver guidance for recognizing signs of AI-driven extremist activity, strengthening organizational resilience through partnership and collaboration, and implementing ethical AI governance that protects against exploitation.
