Article Review on \u201cInvestigating the Intersection of AI and Cybercrime: Risks,
Trends, and Countermeasures\u201d<\/strong>
Introduction<\/em>
For my article review I read the article Investigating the Intersection of AI and Cybercrime:
Risks, Trends, and Countermeasures. This was a study conducted by Sanaika Shetty of Boston
University, Kyung-Shick Choi from Boston University, Insun Park from The University of Akron.
The abstract and question of this article was \u201chow does AI and cybersecurity connect with each
other?\u201d (page 1) The study informed the reader about the upcoming threats and modern threats
AI presented as it is becoming more widespread and accessible. As AI becomes more prevalent
in society and more accessible to the average citizen, that means that criminals will have
access to new ways to commit crimes.
AI cybercrime and social science through RAT Theory<\/em>
The article relates to social science in its application of the routine activities theory or RAT
theory, which is a social science theory that states that peoples routine activities and lack of
guardianship make them victims to crime (page 4). The article related this criminology theory to
cybercrime, stating that people become victims to cybercrime due to lack of protection or
guardianship. The other topic of this article covered the news ways criminals are using AI
programs like ChatGPT and WormGPT for cybercrime.
Methods<\/em>
Criminals are using AI for social engineering schemes that we covered in class like phishing,
malware, ransomware and other scams. The research method used were studies conducted
with criminals whose identities were protected to gather information about how criminals are
using AI for crime (page 8). The data covered the variables of tools criminals use like Darkweb
forums such as FlowGPT website, Respostas Ocultas, Dread, and other surface web forums
like Reddit and Youtube (page 9-10). The studies also provided informational graphs on the
most common types of cybercrimes committed with BECs, brute force, and capturing keystrokes
being the most common types.
Marginalized group<\/em>
A common marginalized group that this study covered are people who don’t have proper
guardianship who are active in cyberspace (page 4) because they often fall victim to
cybercrime. This study provides important information to society because it brings light to the
growing threat of AI and cybercrime.
Conclusion<\/em>
AI is becoming more prevalent in society, along with it comes new ways for criminals to exploit
it. As stated in the article, people are already becoming victims to it through common scams like
phishing, fake pictures, and AI generated malware. This article covered a study conducted to
learn more about AI and crime, along with how it relates to social sciences. RAT theory has
been used to explain how people can become victims to cybercrime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
