Objective:
The rise of autonomous AI systems challenges the very foundation of criminal law. How do we assign blame when an algorithm, not a person, commits a criminal act? Traditional legal concepts like actus reus (the act) and mens rea (the intent) were designed exclusively for human agents.
This seminar confronts this urgent legal paradox. We will analyze the core criteria for criminal liability in the context of AI, examining real-world cases like the Random Darknet Shopper. Critically, we will move beyond problem diagnosis to focus on the regulatory imperative: building a legal framework that can fairly address automated misconduct and prevent future harms.
|
Outline:
- Deconstructing Liability: Can an AI system ever satisfy the legal requirements for a crime (Actus Reus and Mens Rea)?
- Case Study: Analysis of the "Random Darknet Shopper" and its implications for algorithmic accountability.
- The Regulatory Imperative: Debating if AI needs regulation or outright categorical prohibition.
- Future Legal Status: Exploring the concept of Juridical Personality of AI to determine its rights and obligations.
- Punishment & Jurisdiction: How, when, and where should AI be punished for wrongful conduct?
