A conversation with cybercriminologist Thomas-Gabriel Rüdiger about police robots, deep fakes and the future of crime
Mr. Rüdiger, you head the Institute for Cybercriminology at the University of Applied Sciences police of the state of Brandenburg. Recently, the European police agency Europol warned of a new threat: crime using artificial intelligence (AI). Are such warnings justified?
Probably every technological innovation in history has been used for criminal purposes. This also applies to artificial intelligence. I believe it will have a similar impact on society and therefore on crime and policing as the Internet. If not even bigger.
