Artificial intelligence is everywhere. As its benefits become clearer, so too does its dangers. This presentation will focus on how AI may be used as a tool of crime and ask: can the existing criminal law framework in England and Wales respond effectively?

The presentation will explore the ways in which fraud, hacking, sexual offences and national security crimes may change with the use of AI tools, and consider how existing legislation such as the Fraud Act 2006 and the Computer Misuse Act 1990 may (or may not) be up to the task of prosecuting those responsible.

We will then turn to consider whether planned amendments to the law, such as in the upcoming National Security Bill, will be sufficient to address this ever-changing danger.

All criminal lawyers but particularly those who work in the fields of fraud, cybercrime and national security.

Intermediate – some previous knowledge or awareness required

  1. The ways in which AI may feature in criminal offences in England and Wales
  2. The existing criminal offences and legislative tools available to tackle AI-led offending.
  3. New types of offending that may arise and the areas in which the existing legislative framework may fall short.
  4. Legal reforms designed to better address the use of AI in criminal offending.
  1. The emergence of AI does not render existing criminal law obsolete. In the vast majority of cases, AI will be used simply as a tool to commit well-known offences such as fraud or theft.
  2. The key challenge will be evidential rather than legal. In other words, AI will make it harder to identify who committed the offence rather than what the offence was.
  3. Nevertheless, some of the UK’s legislation, such as the Computer Misuse Act 1990, is outdated and no longer suited to the modern cybercrime landscape. There is scope for useful reform.
