Europol has warned about the dangers of the use of artificial intelligence through organized crime. “Fast technological progress – especially in artificial intelligence (AI) – change the way in which crimes are organized and hidden,” writes the international police organization in a new report.
“These changes make organized crime more dangerous and are an unprecedented challenge for EU safety and in its Member States.” Criminals could use artificial intelligence and other new technologies in different areas of child pornography for money laundering for human and drug smuggling, Europol writes in dangerous analysis. It is a real “catalyst” for criminal activities.
Warning is also made of the quantum computer
This can take photos of child abuse by AI. Fraudsters can attack victims through generative AI in different languages. The use of cryptocurrencies, in turn, makes it difficult for the law enforcement agencies to track down and grab the profit of criminal gangs.
Europol also warns that progress in modern technologies will probably promote more and more criminal activities in the coming years. In this way, quantum computers could help criminals to crack today’s coding systems. The police organization even attracts the horror vision of criminal gangs, which are entirely based on artificial intelligence. “The arrival of fully autonomous AI can have levels for criminal networks that are fully controlled by AI,” says the European report. That would be “a new era of organized crime”.
