Abstract
Based on law enforcement practice, statistical data, and sources contained in the mass media, the article analyzes the features of the criminological characteristics of the personality of a criminal who commits crimes using artificial intelligence. The portrait of the criminal’s personality is considered through the prism of socio-demographic, criminal-legal, moral-psychological properties and personality traits in the context of the new information reality. It is stated that in most cases these are men between the ages of 25 and 29, Russian citizens with secondary education, who are not in an official marital relationship, who do not have dependent minors, and who commit several crimes against property. The perpetrators commit the crimes in question neither in a state of alcohol, nor in a state of narcotic or other intoxication. The motives vary, among the studied criminal cases, the selfish motive (77.6 %), gaming (14.5 %), hooligan (6.0 %), political (1.0 %), and others (for example, revenge, enmity) (0.9 %) prevail.
