AI-Enabled Future Crimes

A Police Foundation blog post discusses a study identifying and ranking AI-enabled crimes, with audio/video impersonation deemed the most significant threat. Other high-concern crimes included using driverless vehicles as weapons, AI-enhanced phishing, disrupting AI-controlled systems, and large-scale blackmail. The study also considered AI-authored fake news and other lower-concern threats. The researchers emphasize the need for crime prevention and detection strategies to adapt to evolving technology, highlighting the ease of sharing and repeating digital crimes. The report is the first in a series examining future crime threats linked to emerging technologies.
