Paris – On Monday morning, a high-level international conference titled 'Counter-Terrorism in the Age of Artificial Intelligence' was held at the French Senate in Paris. The event was jointly organized by French Senator Nathalie Goulet and the TRENDS Research & Advisory Center based in Abu Dhabi.
The conference shed light on the growing challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI) in combating terrorism and violent extremism. Participants discussed how AI technologies can be utilized to enhance security and stability both locally and globally, while also exploring international experiences and the latest innovations in the field.
The event featured a distinguished lineup of international speakers and experts, including:

• Alongside a number of researchers and experts from TRENDS
The conference brought together ambassadors, policymakers, security officials, AI specialists, and counter-extremism experts under one roof, aiming to develop shared strategies to confront evolving terrorist threats in the digital age.
Among the conference's highlights was a thought-provoking address by Dr. Wael Saleh, advisor at TRENDS, who explored in depth the challenges associated with applying AI tools to counter-terrorism, particularly in countries lacking digital infrastructure or those considered technologically underdeveloped.
The conference concluded with a pressing and still unanswered question: How can artificial intelligence be effectively deployed to fight terrorism in countries that lack the fundamental technological infrastructure? This question is expected to serve as a catalyst for future discussions and research in upcoming forums.

Putin: NATO's plans to increase military budgets are irrational, pointless

Moscow - Saba: Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that increasing defense spending by NATO countries will not benefit anyone and will create additional risks. Putin said during a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, according to Sputnik News Agency: "If NATO countries want to increase their defense budgets further, that's their business, but it will not benefit anyone and will inevitably create new risks." Putin described NATO's plans to increase military spending as "irrational and pointless." Earlier, French media reported, citing unnamed diplomats, that "the main focus at the NATO summit in The Hague will not be on Ukraine, but on reaching an agreement that satisfies US President Donald Trump regarding increased defense spending among NATO member states." The NATO Summit is scheduled to be held in The Hague on June 24-25. Saint Petersburg, Russia, will host the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum from June 18-21, under the theme "Shared Values - The Foundation of Growth in a Multipolar World."

Le Manité said: "None of the previous US presidents, including Donald Trump, dared to demand that Israel sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), on the contrary, during Trump's first term, in 2019, the United States withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty that bound it to Russia.
