In early June, Elliptic launched its Horizon Scan report on AI-enabled crime in the cryptoasset ecosystem. There, we detail a range of AI-enabled cryptocrime risks, ranging from fraudulent investment scams to AI-enhanced fraudulent ID generation.
Report – carried out according to instructions UK Government Office for Science – identifies five early typologies of AI-enabled cryptocrime and provides a series of case studies to demonstrate how blockchain analytics can help mitigate them.
The crime-technological arms race
These trends are currently in their relative infancy. However, if they are not addressed, there is always a chance that they will become mainstream, putting useful innovations and legitimate users of both technologies at risk in the future.
On many occasions, preventive measures have struggled with criminal innovation when it comes to new technologies. Horizon scanning and proactive identification of emerging trends are key to ensuring that such innovation is resistant to exploitation by criminals.
We are determined to ensure that early indicators of AI-related threats are addressed at an early stage, so that both AI and the crypto industry can continue to innovate in a sustainable and secure manner.
Have your say
Elliptic has launched a consultation to design best practices across industries to address AI-enabled crypto crime threats.
These consultations – carried out with the help of Delphi method – includes three rounds of short polls among everyone involved in crypto or AI. It will seek to evaluate your experiences with AI and cryptocurrency to identify the most effective prevention measures and best practices against identified trends.
The first round of polls is now online – and takes about 7-12 minutes to complete. Closes on July 17, 2024.
Get your answers now to ensure you get early exclusive access to the results – a key benefit that ensures your organization can stay ahead of the curve.
These exercises are always reinforced with the widest possible experience and industries. Whether you are from crypto services, law enforcement, cyber security, regulatory and/or are an active user of any technology – your views matter to us.
Finally, we will publish the results of the research for the benefit of wider industry partners.
