In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) evolves rapidly, INTERPOL's response to AI-enabled cyber threats is crucial. In the enlightening talk, "Power, Abuse, and Pixels: INTERPOL’s Response to an AI World," presented at SuperAI Singapore 2025, Rose Bernard shares her cyber security insights into the evolving landscape of AI-driven cybercrime. Although initially hesitant, Bernard navigates the complex terrain of generative AI and large language models by shedding light on three critical areas of concern.

Firstly, she addresses the rise of Phishing 3.0, where AI empowers cybercriminals to conduct sophisticated email scams by transcending language barriers and personalizing attacks based on user responses. The talk highlights increased risks associated with business email compromise and the use of compromised credentials in ransomware attacks.

Secondly, Bernard elaborates on the sinister use of deep fakes. By impersonating voices and fabricating identities, cybercriminals execute fraudulent schemes with alarming precision, posing a significant threat to financial security worldwide.

The presentation then explores AI’s role in developing platforms like WormGPT and FraudGPT. These tools facilitate automated social engineering, malicious code generation, and supply chain vulnerabilities, marking a stark evolution in cybercriminal tactics.

A pivotal part of Bernard's address is the introduction of Project Echo, a pioneering initiative by INTERPOL to combat online image-based sexual abuse and digital sex crimes. By mobilizing expertise across law enforcement, victims, academia, and private sectors, Project Echo aims to forge a robust operational strategy against this digital menace.
