AI & Crime Evolution
AI enables sophisticated fraud, identity spoofing, algorithmic manipulation, and cybercrime. Law enforcement must adopt AI quickly or risk falling behind criminal networks.

AI adoption could raise global GDP by 7–15% over the next decade. Without reskilling programs, inequality may rise. Macro-scenarios:
- Optimistic: GDP growth + smooth job transition
- Neutral: Gains + inequality expansion
- Adverse: AI monopolization + cybercrime surge
