AI : NEW FRONTIER OF CRIME, WARNS INTERPOOL.

Interpool, through the voice of Enrique Hernandez Gonzalez, head of cyber operations, has raised an important concern : AI will make it easier to commit crimes in the near future.

According to Gonzalez, interviewed by " The Free Way" magazine, we are only at the beginning, but the technology will drastically change the criminal landscape as it becomes more accessible.

Right now, its potential is not yet fully exploited, but it will become a significant challenge in the coming years.

" The Way Forward" also highlighted how technological development is giving rise to new forms of scams, such as "pig butchering."

This technique involves gaining the trust of victims and then extorting money from them.

Experts warn that the situation will worsen as AI evolves, a concern also shared by the Italian government.

In its report to Parliament, AI stressed that we will face more and more cyber and hybrid threats, including disinformation campaigns and the malicious use of emerging technologies such as AI.

Criminal organizations are also adapting, integrating experts in new technologies into their ranks.

Hackers, with their sophisticated skills, have become the new criminal players.

The web is now a breeding ground for fraud, scams and other crimes.

The digitization of organized crime is also transforming investigative techniques, with operations conducted through encrypted servers and data erasure systems, strengthening omertà and redrawing criminal hierarchies.

Online crime also includes industrial espionage, cyberwarfare and arms trafficking.

This phenomenon was also reported in the National Cybersecurity Agency’s annual report, with growing numbers leading global leaders to dedicate a specific G7 meeting to these issues, called the "Cyber meeting."

Governments are alerted and investing significantly in new technologies to regulate and counter threats.

China and the United States are leading these investments, while Europe is focusing more on regulation, taking on the role of "arbiter"
