A rapid improvement of intellectual systems capable of performing creative functions, which was in the past viewed as a unique human ability, has been a breakthrough in the technology progress of recent years.

This phenomenon, however, is fraught with negative consequences — the use of AI systems for criminal purposes. The authors describe the character of such threats, and review the results of their analysis by foreign researchers, as this problem emerged abroad somewhat earlier than in our country. The application of international experience of counteracting the criminal use of artificial intelligence while taking into consideration national specifics is also useful from the standpoint of predicting further dynamics of the situation and reducing its negative consequences. The authors discuss such problems associated with the use of AI systems as the violation of copyright in generating images, the creation speech and video deepfakes for distance fraud and extortion, the dissemination of pornography, and discrediting people. The growing public danger of harassment and humiliation in AI-assisted cyberbullying is stressed. The case when a West European person committed suicide after communication with a chat bot of an AI system is highlighted, together with the fact that the bots’ creators were not prosecuted.
