This report explores the stages of maturity in ai-enabled crimes — horizon, emerging, and mature — illustrating how ai is amplifying criminal capabilities by removing traditional human bottlenecks. Ai can predict criminal behavior with uncanny accuracy and prevent crimes before they happen. · in the grand stage of technological advancement, we have been enticed by a compelling myth: Research supported by nij is helping to lead the way in applying ai to address criminal justice needs, such as identifying individuals and their actions in videos relating to criminal activity or public safety, dna analysis, gunshot detection, and crime forecasting. As ai technology becomes more sophisticated, so will the ways in which criminals leverage it. · through this exploration, we uncover the current impact of technology on criminal defense and forecast the innovations that promise to redefine legal defenses in the years to come.

The policy and technology choices that law enforcement agencies, pretrial and probation services, prison systems, and other criminal justice stakeholders make in the near term will affect millions of americans. The criminal justice system should more proactively engage with emerging technology , such as ai, to use it more effectively, rather than criminalize it. · this paper addresses a critical gap in criminological literature by examining ai’s unique position as both a tool and potential agent in criminal behavior, a distinction that challenges traditional criminological frameworks focused solely on human agency.
