Resumo

Este artigo ilustra a forma como a utilização da IA no combate ao terrorismo é atualmente tratada pela emergente governação global da IA. Mostra que o contra-terrorismo representa uma exceção problemática em muitos dos regulamentos legais da IA que estão a surgir. Ao mesmo tempo, embora seja de alguma forma abordado nos relatórios e nas melhores práticas de luta contra o terrorismo, falta também, de forma problemática, um debate jurídico sobre a IA no âmbito da arquitetura global de luta contra o terrorismo. O artigo termina com um apelo urgente às instituições internacionais para que façam mais para regulamentar a utilização da IA na luta contra o terrorismo, uma vez que esta tecnologia pode implicar riscos importantes em termos de abusos dos direitos humanos por parte de actores poderosos.
