Criminal Liability of Illegal Actions of Artificial Intelligence Entities

Abstract

The study aims to demonstrate criminal liability for criminal acts committed by AI entities, the legal adaptation of crimes committed by AI entities, determining who is criminally responsible for them, and stating models of possible criminal liability for crimes of AI entities. To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher used the analytical approach to reach solutions to the problem of the study, and answer its questions by analyzing the general provisions of criminal liability for crimes of artificial intelligence entities, and showing the extent of their applicability to criminal acts. The current study concluded that artificial intelligence entities are based on understanding the nature of human intelligence by creating computer programs capable of simulating human behavior. Many crimes are expected to be committed by the entities of artificial intelligence. The characteristics will collide with the requirements of proving criminal responsibility for such crimes. Accordingly, it is imperative to work on developing a legal framework that regulates the work of artificial intelligence entities and the areas of their use to avoid any criminal acts and to develop legal solutions. This is to protect society from the potential dangers inherent in technologies that are not subject to the law, especially the criminal law to clearly define criminal responsibility for criminal acts, carried out by artificial intelligence entities..
