EU Police Agency Warns: Artificial Intelligence Amplifies Organized Crime

The European Union's law enforcement agency has alerted that artificial intelligence is amplifying organized crime within its 27 member states, significantly affecting societal norms. Criminal activities like drug trafficking, cyber attacks, and online scams are eroding societal values and legal structures by generating illegal profits and legitimizing corruption. Europol Executive Director Catherine De Bolle described the report as a crucial warning for law enforcement concerning European security. The emergence of fully autonomous AI could potentially pave the way for completely AI-managed criminal networks, fundamentally reshaping the realm of organized crime.
