Revealing Deception: Techniques for Solving AI-Driven Criminal Cases
This course explores the rapidly evolving intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and criminal investigations, with a focus on the nuanced challenges and investigative techniques needed to detect and solve AI-driven crimes. As AI technologies become increasingly sophisticated, they also open new avenues for criminal activities, ranging from deepfakes in identity fraud to AI-assisted cyberattacks. Through a blend of theoretical learning and practical applications, this course aims to equip students with the skills necessary to address these modern challenges in law enforcement and cybersecurity.
Recent incidents, such as the AI-driven fraud scheme in Maryland where criminals used voice synthesis technology to impersonate trusted individuals and swindle businesses, highlight the urgency and relevance of this field of study. By analyzing such cases, students will gain insights into the methods criminals use to leverage AI technologies and the strategies investigators can employ to combat these advanced threats. The course will also cover the ethical, legal, and social implications of using AI in criminal justice, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the broader impacts of AI on society.
