How crime is accelerated by AI
Episode 4
Tuesday, 24 June, 2025

Artificial Intelligence is turbocharging organised crime, but how exactly? In this episode of The Europol Podcast, we reveal how organised crime is accelerating as it becomes increasingly efficient, as harnessing AI allows criminal networks to better target more people, faster and more accurately. You will hear from law enforcement experts across the EU, all based at Europol HQ, about the latest trends in cybercrime: online child sexual exploitation and abuse material, ransomware, crime-as-a-service, and AI’s role as an enabler. Speakers: Andrei Linta, Deputy Executive Director of Capabilities at Europol. Edvardas Sileris, Head of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) at Europol. Tamara Schotte, Head of Analysis & Strategic Coordination Unit at Europol. Marijn Schuurbiers, Head of Operations in the European Cybercrime Centre at Europol. Danny Van Althuis, Head of the Analysis Project Twins at Europol.
