AI is turbocharging organized crime, EU police agency warns
The European Union's law enforcement agency warns that artificial intelligence is enhancing organized crime across its 27 member states, impacting societal foundations.
Criminal activities such as drug trafficking, cyber attacks, and online scams are undermining society and the rule of law by creating illicit proceeds and normalizing corruption.
Catherine De Bolle, Europol Executive Director, called the report a 'wake-up call' for law enforcement regarding European security.
The rise of fully autonomous AI could lead to entirely AI-controlled criminal networks, changing the landscape of organized crime.
The report on organized crime published by Europol states that crimes range from drug trafficking to human trafficking, money laundering, cyber attacks and online fraud.
