I suppose the same laws that are in place for human intelligence would either apply or be adapted to apply to these situations. For example there are people who can currently use computers to do the things you describe, and there are consequences if they get caught. If someone programs AI that subsequently commits these crimes, it is reasonable that the programmer could be held accountable. The gray area comes when someone programs an AI for one purpose and it is later used (or chooses by itself) for another illicit purpose.
