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.
