Abstract

When an intelligent machine or an autonomous robot, as the ample examples of artificial intelligence, commits a crime, what first comes to mind is its criminal liability. Human criminal liability is based on the will and criminal intent and other conditions mentioned in the law, but the will and intent of artificial intelligence in committing a crime is not like the will and intent of humans. This research here, examines the concepts of criminal liability of artificial intelligence, and the existing approaches to artificial intelligence; it evaluates and criticizes two opposing philosophical approaches towards artificial phenomena, namely humanness and instrumentality, and various assumptions, and states the existing legal provisions of criminal liability intended for criminal humans. By analyzing the legal provisions that have been enacted for humans with self-will, it has reached the following approach as below, considering the new nature of artificial phenomena, the current laws are not responsible for criminal confrontation with artificial intelligence; Because regarding the ambiguity of existing laws toward concepts such as non-spiritual will, accepting the interpretation of these laws by an official authority, although it will remove the ambiguity, will cause the judicial system to be dumbfounded regarding criminal discussions in this area and will not solve the problem.
