contents <div>This study addresses the critical issue of terrorist financing through cryptocurrency platforms, a growing concern due to digital currencies' pseudonymous nature and global reach. The research explores the strategic role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in identifying, preventing, and disrupting the flow of illicit funds used to finance terrorism. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates qualitative case studies of documented instances of cryptocurrency-based terrorist financing with quantitative data analysis from significant cryptocurrency exchanges. Advanced AI and ML algorithms, including supervised learning models such as decision trees and neural networks, were applied to detect suspicious transactions indicative of terrorist activities.</div> <div>The findings reveal that AI and ML technologies significantly enhance the ability to identify patterns of terrorist financing within large and complex datasets, with models achieving precision and recall rates exceeding 90%. However, challenges remain, particularly regarding the quality and standardization of data across platforms, algorithmic biases, and the need for continuous updates to counter evolving tactics used by terrorist organizations. The study concludes that AI and ML present powerful tools for enhancing financial security. However, their successful implementation requires overcoming these challenges through collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including financial institutions, regulators, and technology providers. This research contributes to the growing field of economic crime prevention by offering a robust framework for integrating AI-driven solutions into the fight against terrorist financing on cryptocurrency platforms.</div>
