USE OF AI IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES AMONG WOMEN

Abstract

The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into daily life has created new avenues for criminal activity. While male-dominated narratives of cybercrime persist, emerging patterns suggest a growing involvement of women in AI-facilitated criminal behavior. This study explores the intersection of gender, technology, and crime by examining how women engage in and benefit from AI-enabled criminal activities. Drawing on case studies, academic literature, and criminological theories, this paper investigates the motivations, methodologies, and sociotechnical dynamics that drive women's participation in such offenses. The study also highlights how AI blurs traditional boundaries between victim and perpetrator and challenges law enforcement frameworks. Implications for gender-sensitive policy, digital forensics, and AI governance are discussed. This research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the gendered dimension of AI crime and contribute to both criminology and AI ethics discourse.
