The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Combating Cybercrime A Comparative Study

Abstract

Cybercrimes are among the most dangerous crimes facing individuals and institutions, as they are silent crimes that transcend geographical boundaries. The Internet and computer devices are used to execute acts of cyber terrorism, hacking, and data piracy. However, these crimes did not persist for long until the high-level artificial intelligence technology emerged as a barrier to combating cybercrimes, especially in developed countries.

Through digital authorities, crime prediction before it occurs, and other means, artificial intelligence has significantly contributed to combating cybercrimes. Arab legislations have been divided between those who working on regulating specific laws for cybercrimes and those who have amended old laws to keep pace with the developments in the principle of the legitimacy of combating cybercrimes.

This study aims to understand the role of artificial intelligence in combating cybercrimes, and how digital authorities and crime prediction techniques have contributed in preventing and reducing cybercrimes.

 It also examines the role of some Arab legislations in regulating the fight against cybercrimes and the mechanism adopted to combat them.

To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher utilized the descriptive-analytical approach to explore the mechanism of using artificial intelligence in combating cybercrimes, and the comparative approach by comparing the legal systems and their role in combating cybercrime.
