This paper explores the main characteristics of property crimes in the AI era, analyzes the dilemmas encountered in the application of criminal law, including legal lag, difficulties in evidence collection, and technological barriers. In response to these dilemmas, the paper proposes corresponding countermeasures, including improving the legal system, innovating legislation, enhancing technical support, and promoting international cooperation. By analyzing these issues and solutions, this paper aims to provide useful references and suggestions for the application of criminal law to property crimes in the age of AI.
