"Criminal networks are now blending phishing, fraud and ransomware with other enterprises like trafficking and money laundering, making this borderless threat even more complex and serious. And then from a law enforcement perspective, we look at it kind of as a double-edged sword. I'm from INTERPOL, so we look at how AI can benefit law enforcement in the long run. But as a cybercrime director, I also see how cyber criminals are also utilizing AI to enhance the effectiveness of their criminal activities."
"So, just a little bit about INTERPOL because maybe there's some misconceptions about what it is. Even my neighbors sometimes think, "What do you actually do, Neal?" So in , there are 196 member countries. We are focused on law enforcement to law enforcement connections. So what we want to do in the Cybercrime Directorate is understand what our membership is suffering from as far as the type of crimes that they are seeing the most."
Interpol coordinates 196 member countries through law enforcement-to-law enforcement connections, information-sharing, cross-border cooperation and training. Interpol issues yearly threat assessments to identify regional crime trends and to inform member responses. Cybercriminal networks increasingly combine phishing, fraud and ransomware with trafficking and money laundering, creating complex, borderless threats. Advances in artificial intelligence are enabling faster, more automated and more organized attacks, exemplified by reported misuse of Anthropic's Claude by Chinese state-sponsored hackers. Law enforcement views AI as a double-edged sword that can aid policing while also enhancing criminal effectiveness.
