ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a platform programmed to think, learn, research and regulate
new innovations and projects. In the present era, the consequences of AI are leading to
illegal activities where Ai is used as a tool to commit crimes and wrongful acts. Some of these
crimes are deep – fakes, data exploitation and breaches, AI malware, evidence tampering,
cyberattacks, online pornography and block chain driven crimes. These AI crimes are often
challenging the traditional legal frameworks and law enforcements. The broader
intersectionality between crime and technology is an ever-evolving landscape which is
dynamic and has a dual nature. It not only facilitates criminal activities but also has the
methods of prevention, investigation, evidence collection, forensic technology (for example:
extracting data from phones including the deleted ones, advanced methods of fingerprinting
techniques) and prosecution. There are debates between due process of law and privacy
rights because the government uses technology like mass surveillance, facial recognition and
phone tapping to monitor the individuals who are threats to the state. But these measures at
times clashes with the individual’s right to privacy. Similarly, the use of technology in legal
processes are virtual hearings, digital evidence and also skimming through case laws and
legal documents. Therefore, the rapid evolvement of technology has transformed the
landscape of crime and justice with AI playing a dual role, that is, in facilitating criminal
activities and combating them. This paper will explore the rise of AI crimes and also will
focus on the broader intersectionality between crime and technology and how can we
collaborate and have solutions for these complex crimes.
