AI-BASED CYBER CRIMES AND CYBER REGULATIONS: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science and engineering of creating intelligent machines, particularly computer programs. It has the potential to play a role in criminal acts known as AI-crimes (AIC), which pose threats to cybersecurity, such as stealing sensitive data, hacking and weaponizing autonomous weaponry, social engineering attacks, and political disruption. Currently, there is no regulatory framework targeting AI crimes, and the legal texts do not address the contentious issue of criminal liability for AI. Traditionally, AI has been regulated through product licensing, R&D supervision, and tort responsibility. However, applying existing AI concepts to assess the harm that autonomous AI may pose in the future is insufficient. This research will be divided into four areas: defining AI crime and potential AI hostile acts, examining existing cybercrime frameworks, surveying international organizations that have made progress in AI crimes, and presenting legal notions focused specifically on AI crimes. The fourth half will discuss the challenges in determining the jurisdiction of AI crimes due to their global nature. The author will analyze how the law should deal with these concerns and provide recommendations on how the legal system should specifically address these obstacles.
