The author gives a generalized description of doctrinal points of view on cybercrime and comes to the conclusion about the need to develop legislative provisions providing for the concept of cybercrimes, the rules for their qualification and investigation. Based on the experimental use of artificial intelligence, the author demonstrated the capabilities of this biocybernetic system to develop algorithms to counter criminal prohibitions.
