Artificial Intelligence and Crime Linked to Cryptocurrencies

Abstract

The quickly advancing development of artificial intelligence (AI) and rapidly spreading cryptocurrencies established a modern environment for both legal developments and illegal practices. The analysis explores AI-related crime activities in cryptocurrencies through a study of AI technologies that assist and combat various crypto-based criminal operations. This paper investigates AI-driven crimes which include fraud alongside money laundering and cyberattacks and evaluates the dual capabilities of AI between criminal execution and prevention functions. This paper explains the ethical and legal risks of AI implementations in cryptocurrency crimes and provides recommendations for present and future research to tackle emerging threats.
