Description
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed many areas of life, including healthcare, education, and communication. However, alongside its benefits, AI is increasingly being misused in criminal activities. Advanced AI tools now allow criminals to create highly realistic fake content, automate fraud, and manipulate victims in ways that were not possible before. These developments have created serious global security, financial, and social risks. This research focuses on understanding how AI is used in modern crimes and how AI-based detection systems can be developed to prevent and reduce these threats Problem Statement The rapid development and public accessibility of AI technologies have made it easier for criminals to conduct sophisticated crimes with minimal technical skills. Many victims are unable to distinguish between real and AI-generated content, which leads to financial loss, reputational damage, identity theft, and legal complications. Current security systems and laws are not fully prepared to handle crimes involving deepfakes, voice cloning, AI impersonation, and intelligent fraud techniques. There is a critical need for advanced detection tools and preventive strategies.
