Abstract

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed various sectors, offering substantial improvements in productivity, efficiency, and innovation. However, this technological advancement has also introduced new dimensions to cybercrime. From AI-powered phishing attacks to deepfakes and automated hacking tools, criminals are exploiting A.I. to launch more sophisticated and targeted cyberattacks. This research paper explores the dual-edged nature of A.I. in the context of cybercrime, discussing both its potential in aiding cybercriminal activities and its promise in combating cyber threats. The paper further examines the legal challenges posed by AI-driven cybercrimes, including issues of jurisdiction, attribution, legal accountability, and the adequacy of existing laws. Finally, it discusses potential legal and regulatory frameworks that could address these challenges while leveraging AI's capabilities to improve cybersecurity measures.
