The Spin

Narrative A

The fundamental nature of organized crime is transforming as criminal networks evolve into sophisticated, technology-driven enterprises that exploit digital platforms and geopolitical instability to expand their influence and evade detection. As AI makes organized crime more dangerous than ever before, Europol must expand its intelligence and operational reach to protect the EU.

Narrative B

AI is transforming how we tackle some of the world's biggest predicaments, including organized crime, which creates an unprecedented challenge for law enforcement agencies that lack the resources and capabilities to keep pace with rapidly evolving criminal tactics. The same technological advancements that drive innovation and progress in society could stop organized crime from weaponizing it.
