EU Police Agency Warns: AI is Fueling Organized Crime

The European Union's law enforcement agency, Europol, has issued a warning about the detrimental impact of artificial intelligence on organized crime in societies across the bloc. According to Europol's report, activities such as drug trafficking and cyber attacks fueled by AI are not only generating illegal profits but also fueling corruption. Europol's Executive Director, Catherine De Bolle, stressed that AI-driven attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and aligned with state interests, presenting urgent threats that demand immediate action from European nations. Cybercrime is evolving into a digital arms race, with government entities and individuals being targeted through a range of offenses, including drug trafficking and cyber attacks.
