I second what Keldan said about not using AI for doing deep research.
There are plenty of people practicing magic around the world, including some involved with organized crime, and even some delusional people practicing things like human sacrifice and cannibalism. But the idea that these practices are widespread is a wild exaggeration. Folk magic practices and the like, sure. But nothing like the fantasy cooked up for you by some AI. There probably are more narcos killing people for some supposed magic than people from other demographics, but that doesn't mean there are very many still. There's very little evidence of it happening, and very little reason for it across our multitude of occult traditions. Killing someone or doing something similar does a lot more to reinforce that person's psychological detachment and improve their skills as a psychopath, than it will ever do to cause some psychic or magical effect.
As for the idea of the most dangerous magic, in my opinion everything can be of equal danger in the wrong hands, and the person in the most danger is often the one dabbling with things they can't handle.
