Artificial Intelligence Turbocharging is an organized crime, from creating a child sexual abuse image to the money laundering via cryptocurrency, Europeol warned on Tuesday, prepared to make things worse with progress like quantum computing.
In a report that fulfills the dangers arising by organized crime, the European Police Organization stated that criminals had seized the AI on opportunities given by AI as “catalysts” to accelerate their activities.
Europeol said in a detailed 80-page “Threat Assessment” report, “Rapid technological progressively in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-telling how the crime is arranged, executed and hidden.”
Police said, “These changes are making organized crime more dangerous, an unprecedented challenge for security in the European Union and its member states.”
The use of AI and other technologies is helping criminals in its entire portfolio – from drug and human trafficking to cyber crime and identity theft.
The police report warned that the generative AI enables criminal gangs to hit more globally in many languages and even generate images of child sexual abuse, the police report warned.
The report stated, “The clear photos of adults can be manipulated to make them individually young or the applications can ‘nudify’ the non-entrants,” the report.
Europeol said, “Very qualities that make AI revolutionary – access, versatility and sophistication – has made it an attractive tool for criminals.”
‘AI-controlled criminal’
Technology is also making it difficult for officers to get sick benefits.
Police said that income from crime had been confiscated, police said with the challenge “move beyond increasing criminal exploitation of digital assets.”
Criminal group cryptocurrency are used to rob money and move funds, making it difficult to track and eventually seized.
“Criminal exploitation of cryptocurrency as a payment method has now gone beyond the scope of cybercrime, and has been rapidly encountered in drug trafficking or migratory trafficking.”
As technology improves, according to Europeol, the possibility of promoting criminal activity is only likely to increase, rapid growth in quantum computing, keeping in mind the metamors, 6G, unmanned systems and brain-computer interfaces.
“The high levels of oblivion, speed and sophistication displayed by the current criminal network will increase only in the coming years,” the report states the report.
Quantum computing especially will enable criminals to crack current encryption technology easily.
Finally, the police raised the diastopian probability of the criminal gangs run completely by AI.
The report stated, “The emergence of a completely autonomous AI can pave the way for a completely AI-controlled criminal network, marking a new era in organized crime.”
