For a Special Issue on
AI for Crime Detection and Prevention: Opportunities, Challenges, and Solutions

Cybercrimes have been increasing in frequency and scale for a few years now. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of the cybersecurity industry. AI is intelligence displayed by machines rather than living creatures. Machine Learning (ML) is a subcategory of AI that enables programs to identify patterns and apply them in problem-solving. AI and ML can be crucial in cybersecurity. AI can predict and secure cybercrimes more accurately than people since it can process enormous amounts of data fast. It also frees up employees to focus on other, more complex tasks. To incorporate AI for good for the benefit of society, information on recent and ongoing scientific and technological progress, as well as challenges and lessons learned need to be shared and discussed.

This special issue will facilitate much-needed information exchange among AI researchers and academicians, intelligence experts, industry consultants and practitioners, IT, security, and analytics professionals, and business executives to publish their recent and ongoing developments, key issues and challenges, and practices related to AI applications in Cybercrime detection and prevention. We are interested in original, technical, and survey works in unexplored and/or emerging topics in the broad area of AI for Cybercrime, and in novel findings and/or new insights that build on existing works. Submissions may include experimental, behavioral, systems, methodology, testbed, modeling, evaluation, and policy papers. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Child abuse and exploitation prevention using AI
• Cybersmart wellness for women
• AI for crime scene detection
• Interpreting AI-based cybercrime prediction
• AI for crime prevention and counterterrorism
• Financial fraud detection using AI
• AI for email and internet fraud
• AI & identity theft solution
• AI crime detection using Facial recognition
• Legal aspects of AI and AI in legal practice
• AI-powered cyber crimes
• Fighting cryptojacking attacks using AI
• AL for phishing and malware detection
