AI Risks and Jewish Communal Security: Preparing for a New Threat Landscape
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the information ecosystem, creating new security challenges for Jewish communities worldwide. This article highlights how AI-generated misinformation—such as deepfakes, synthetic audio, and fabricated documents—threatens communal trust and safety. Given that antisemitic narratives are increasingly amplified by AI at scale and speed, this is a pressing security concern requiring coordinated communal action.
The impact is profound: when false evidence circulates widely, institutions struggle to coordinate and communities fracture, heightening risks of real-world harm including violence and distorted historical memory. Jewish institutions, from federations to schools, must prioritize AI risk management by developing rapid response strategies and partnerships to defend shared reality.
This could reshape how Jewish organizations approach security—not just physical but informational—and underscores the urgency to treat AI risks as a top communal priority now, before misinformation cycles embed deeper in social narratives.
