Criminal Liability for Acts of Artificial Intelligence Between Rejection and Endorsement

Abstract

This study focuses on the legal implications that artificial intelligence may create in determining criminal liability, highlighting the most significant legal and ethical challenges posed by this promising innovation in reshaping traditional crimes and creating new types of crimes. The importance of this study lies in its addressing one of the most prominent legal issues arising from crimes related to the use of artificial intelligence: the extent to which the rules of criminal liability can be applied to those responsible for crimes related to AI technology، We also shed light on the most prominent modern jurisprudential trends regarding the establishment of criminal liability for crimes related to artificial intelligence, presenting the views of both proponents and opponents in this field, while clarifying the researcher's point of view. We also touched on the position of some foreign and Arab legislation on the issue of regulating and defining criminal liability for this use. Ultimately, the researcher reached a set of conclusions and recommendations to address these challenges, which calls for the formulation of legislation that regulates this use and determines the responsibility of parties for the crimes resulting from it, with the aim of arriving at a legal concept that clearly defines criminal liability.
