AI and Cybercrime: Emerging Threats and Legal Responses

 

Artificial Intelligence is transforming cybercrime by enabling sophisticated threats such as deepfakes, automated phishing, identity theft, and AI-driven malware. These technologies increase the scale, speed, and complexity of cyber offences, posing serious challenges for legal systems and enforcement agencies. In India, the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 provide the primary legal framework, though AI-specific regulations are still evolving. Poland, aligned with European Union standards, addresses AI-enabled cybercrime through its Criminal Code, GDPR, and the EU AI Act. Strengthening cross-border cooperation, legal accountability, and regulatory frameworks is essential to effectively combat AI-enabled cybercrime.

Topic- AI-Enabled Cryptocurrency Monitoring: A Comparative Legal Study of India and Poland within the EU Regulatory Framework

The increasing use of artificial intelligence in cryptocurrency monitoring raises complex questions of proportionality, accountability, and regulatory coherence. Through comparative doctrinal analysis, this paper examines India’s constitutionalised digital oversight—shaped by Internet and Mobile Association of India v RBI and privacy jurisprudence following K S Puttaswamy—alongside Poland’s evolving implementation of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). While the EU’s risk-based framework seeks to embed fundamental rights within supervisory design, Poland’s legislative recalibration highlights institutional challenges in operationalising AI-driven AML compliance, requiring calibrated, rights-responsive regulatory consolidation.

This lecture examines the contrasting frameworks for resolving corporate disputes in Central Asia and the European Union.

AI and the Law: Emerging Risks and Regulatory Pathways

Artificial Intelligence has moved from experimental innovation to systemic infrastructure, reshaping governance, commerce, adjudication, and everyday decision-making. As algorithmic systems increasingly influence credit allocation, employment screening, predictive policing, healthcare diagnostics, and judicial administration, they generate novel legal risks that challenge established doctrinal frameworks. These risks include opacity in automated decision-making, algorithmic bias and discrimination, data protection violations, cyber vulnerabilities, attribution of liability for autonomous actions, and the erosion of procedural fairness. Traditional legal concepts such as intent, causation, foreseeability, and responsibility struggle to accommodate self-learning systems whose outputs evolve beyond their initial programming. This lecture would enlighten students regarding the emerging risk landscape associated with AI deployment and evaluates the adequacy of existing legal regimes in responding to such challenges. It critically analyses whether sector-specific regulation, tort law, data protection statutes, consumer protection norms, and constitutional safeguards provide sufficient remedies, or whether a dedicated regulatory architecture is warranted. Particular attention is devoted to high-risk AI systems that affect fundamental rights, democratic participation, and access to justice.

Regulating Market Power in the Digital Age: Comparative Competition Law Perspectives from India and Poland

This lecture provides a comparative introduction to competition law in India and Poland, examining its foundational principles, institutional frameworks, and key substantive provisions governing anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominance, and merger control. It traces the historical evolution of competition regulation in both jurisdictions—from market liberalisation and economic transition to modern enforcement models shaped by globalisation. The lecture further explores how competition law has expanded beyond traditional market regulation to address challenges posed by digital markets, including platform dominance, data concentration, and emerging forms of market power. Through this comparative analysis, the session highlights the changing role of competition law in contemporary economies.

Forensic science is based on fundamental principles that guide the identification, collection, analysis, and interpretation of evidence in legal investigations. Key principles include Locard’s Exchange Principle, which states that every contact leaves a trace; the principle of individuality, recognising that every object or person has unique characteristics; and the principle of comparison, requiring like to be compared with like. The principle of probability aids in evaluating evidential significance, while the principle of progressive change acknowledges that evidence can alter over time. Together, these principles ensure scientific accuracy, objectivity, and reliability in the administration of justice.

Title-Greenwashing and Corporate Liability and its Regulations

Greenwashing refers to deceptive practices by corporations that falsely portray their products, policies, or overall operations as environmentally sustainable. Such misrepresentation undermines consumer trust, distorts fair competition, and impedes genuine environmental protection efforts. Corporate liability for greenwashing varies by jurisdiction, arising under consumer protection, advertising standards, securities regulations, and environmental laws. Regulatory frameworks increasingly mandate transparency, accurate disclosures, and substantiated environmental claims, while enforcement agencies impose penalties, fines, and corrective measures for misleading conduct. Strengthening compliance mechanisms and disclosure norms is essential to ensure corporate accountability, promote sustainable development, and protect stakeholders from deceptive environmental marketing practices.

Taxation of Digital Services in Europe

The lecture examines the specific features of digital services and their growing significance for the European economy. It explores the challenges they pose to traditional principles of international tax law, including permanent establishment and profit allocation rules. Particular attention is given to initiatives of the European Commission and the work of the OECD on taxing the digital economy, especially digital services taxes. The lecture encourages critical discussion on tax policy choices and highlights the legal, economic, and societal dimensions of these complex issues.

Jurisdictional Issues in Cyberspace

Jurisdictional issues in cyberspace pose complex legal challenges given the internet’s borderless nature. Traditional principles of territorial jurisdiction often struggle to address cross-border cybercrimes, data breaches, online defamation, and digital contracts. Conflicts arise when determining applicable law, competent courts, and enforcement mechanisms across multiple jurisdictions. Divergent national regulations on data protection, privacy, and intermediary liability further complicate dispute resolution. The absence of uniform global standards and effective international cooperation mechanisms creates enforcement gaps. Addressing these challenges requires harmonisation of laws, strengthened mutual legal assistance frameworks, and adaptive legal doctrines to ensure accountability, protect rights, and maintain digital sovereignty in an interconnected world.
