Link: Europol imagines robot crime waves in 2035

Europol's recent report highlights the dual use of robotics and AI in both policing and criminal activities, predicting an intertwined future by 2035. "The Unmanned Future(s)" draws scenarios where these technologies could lead to both advanced law enforcement tactics and new forms of crime.

The report imagines a world where robots are ubiquitous, involved in everything from household assistance to autonomous driving.

It discusses potential criminal uses, such as hacking care robots to gather sensitive information or using drones for surveillance and attacks.

Concerns are also raised about the challenges law enforcement might face, such as the complexity of interrogating AI systems and distinguishing between intentional and accidental actions by robots.

Despite the speculative nature of these scenarios, the report offers practical recommendations to prepare law enforcement for these potential future challenges.

By engaging with these predictions, Europol aims to inform and guide European law enforcement strategies against emerging technological threats and opportunities. #
