In a new report, Kripos paints a picture of the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GKI) on cybercrime in the coming years.
GKI has gone from being something for people with special interests to being owned by everyone. Development is going fast. Too early for society to be able to prevent unwanted incidents related to the use of GKI by cybercriminals.
“We are already seeing GKI being used by cybercriminals to create malware code, over-the-top material and deepfakes,” says Olav Skard, who heads the National Cybercrime Center at the National Crime Agency.
Kripos has national responsibility for intelligence within the Norwegian police force. The aim of the report is to provide the police, the public and business with basic knowledge about GKI and the impact of this technology on cybercrime in the coming years.

Development, artificial intelligence will lead to an increase in cybercrime, and some cybercrime will change its nature. The technology is easily available and cheap. This will lead to more cybercriminals.
Technology is evolving faster than society can keep up
A crime committed with GKI can affect victims at the individual, organizational and state levels.
"It's worrying that technology is advancing faster than society can keep up, given the potential it has to hit victims on a large scale and at high speed with a high degree of tailoring," says Skard.
The intelligence report is designed to support managers in the public and private sectors in making the right decisions, prioritizing resources and implementing countermeasures.
Kripos also sees that GKI enables more targeted phishing campaigns, where GKI mass-produces highly credible, individualized content.
“In the long run, this will make Norwegian speakers as vulnerable to cybercrime as English speakers today, for example by eliminating foul language as a tag that reveals an email sent by foreign criminals,” says Skard.
