The modern world is characterized by an increased level of digital technology implementation in almost all areas of human activity. For example, the development of technology has led to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in various sectors of society. AI components are now integrated into numerous devices and systems. This trend is particularly prevalent in the financial, consulting, healthcare, and transportation industries, as well as in law enforcement and defense agencies. The increasing use of intelligent systems is driving the evolution of their legal regulation. The current level of artificial intelligence adoption does not indicate a large number of criminal incidents involving AI. However, as these systems become more complex, they may have a more significant impact on society. There are already reports of socially dangerous activities involving AI technologies.
