Criminal Liability Arising from the Use of Artificial Intelligence Applications

The increasing use of artificial intelligence applications across various domains of contemporary life gives rise to significant legal challenges, particularly in relation to the attribution of criminal liability for acts committed through such systems. This raises critical questions regarding the adequacy of existing legal frame works and their capacity to accommodate the unique and evolving characteristics of artificial intelligence technologies. In this context, the present study aims to examine the current and potential future challenges associated with artificial intelligence applications, especially in light of the rapid pace of technological advancement. Advanced AI systems have endowed certain machines with sophisticated capabilities, including the ability to acquire experiential learning and make autonomous decisions, thereby raising concerns about the possibility of these entities acting independently of direct human control. Accordingly, it becomes conceivable that such systems may deviate from programmed instructions and engage in conduct that could be classified as criminal acts. This necessitates a comprehensive legal inquiry into the nature and scope of criminal liability arising from offences committed by autonomous artificial intelligence entities, particularly those capable of independent decision-making.
