The remarkable development of various technological instruments and the massive qualitative leap in their potential were the result of the use of artificial intelligence algorithms, which enabled these tools to mimic our minds and fulfil our desires. This gave us a clear perception that such instruments had reached the intelligence stage. As much as nations have benefited from the countless advantages of this technology in the service of humans, I find on the other hand that criminals have benefited from exploiting its capabilities to enhance the efficiency of attacks on humans themselves. Although criminal laws against cybercrimes exist, these crimes continue to show a frightening increase, especially with our heavy reliance on these technological tools and complete ignorance of the mechanism for reducing their risks. Therefore, I aim in this research to find a clear solution to this problem by evaluating efforts to confront the challenges posed by artificial intelligence technology. I follow the analytical methodology, starting with a clarification of the modern concept of cybercrimes, their most significant forms, and a review of the most significant results of specialized research centres in the cyber field, revealing the seriousness of these crimes. Then, I address the most significant substantive and procedural problems facing criminal law and evaluate the efforts in countries’ laws to confront these types of crimes. I find significant evidence that policies addressing these crimes are needed internationally before countries can do so on the national scale. Furthermore, the ethical rules of artificial intelligence should be the basis for determining the responsibilities of the parties, including developers.
