Researchers have found that artificial intelligence is being used in swatting attacks, which are often used to cause disruption and panic in communities. The attacks, often targeted universities such as DOANE UNIVERSITY, were particularly targeted in the fall of 2025. Researchers believe the perpetrators are now using AI to communicate with their voice and create a realistic threat. The research was conducted by National Counterterrorism, InNOVation, Technology and Education Center, or INSIGHT SENIOR RESEARCHER MCKENZY HARMS. HARMS suggests that these attacks are being targeted by a group that operates within this network. The researchers are working to identify the individuals responsible for these attacks and develop a comprehensive safety plan.
