AI-enabled future crimes ranked: Deepfakes, spearphishing, and more

Organizations are embracing digital transformation to enhance operations. Artificial intelligence (AI) in particular is revolutionizing the ways companies collaborate and conduct business. However, as these technologies spread across industries, these systems give rise to new attack points and vulnerabilities; especially for criminal activity. A study published in the journal Crime Science analyzed a vast spectrum of AI-enabled crimes in the years ahead ranging from military robots and autonomous attack drones to AI-assisted stalking. To assess the risks associated with these various potential criminal scenarios, the review featured a two-day workshop of individuals from the private and public sector, academics, police agencies, and more.
