Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to assess whether current international instruments to counter cybercrime may apply in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and to provide a short analysis of the ongoing policy initiatives of international organizations that would have a relevant impact in the law-making process in the field of cybercrime in the near future. This paper discusses the implications that AI policy making would bring to the administration of the criminal justice system to specifically counter cybercrimes. Current trends and uses of AI systems and applications to commit harmful and illegal conduct are analysed including deep fakes. The paper finalizes with a conclusion that offers an alternative to create effective policy responses to counter cybercrime committed through AI systems.

Summary
AI has brought enormous benefits and advantages to humanity in the last decade and this trend will likely continue in coming years since AI is gradually becoming part of the digital services that we use in our daily lives. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large part of the world’s connected population was confined This situation made companies and individuals more dependent on the use of systems, technologies and applications based on AI to conduct their activities, including remote work, distance learning, online payments or having access to more entertainment options like streaming and video on demand services. This situation led organized criminal groups to reconsider and re-organized their criminal activities in order to target a number of stake-. There is no sufficient evidence that criminal groups have a strong technical expertise in the management and manipulation of AI and machine learning systems for criminal purposes, it is true that said groups have realized its enormous potential for criminal and disruptive purposes. Further, organized criminal groups currently recruit and bring technical skilled hackers into their files to manipulate, exploit and abuse computer systems and to perpetrate attacks and conduct criminal activities 24/7 from practically anywhere in the world.
