- Abstract
- In modern legal systems, criminal responsibility is based on the concept of agency, which includes autonomy, intentionality, and individual accountability. In parallel, as technology advances and the use of artificial intelligence in our daily lives becomes more prevalent, important tasks are entrusted to AI-driven systems. As a result, AI will increasingly perform independently of humans. The more "smart" AI and sophisticated robots become, the more likely they are to react to impulses. As a result, we are increasingly dealing with agents rather than tools, and advanced artificial intelligence systems deployed irresponsibly will be the source of future concerns, as AI systems are already autonomously engaging in activities that would be...

- In modern legal systems, criminal responsibility is based on the concept of agency, which includes autonomy, intentionality, and individual accountability. In parallel, as technology advances and the use of artificial intelligence in our daily lives becomes more prevalent, important tasks are entrusted to AI-driven systems. As a result, AI will increasingly perform independently of humans. The more "smart" AI and sophisticated robots become, the more likely they are to react to impulses. As a result, we are increasingly dealing with agents rather than tools, and advanced artificial intelligence systems deployed irresponsibly will be the source of future concerns, as AI systems are already autonomously engaging in activities that would be considered illegal for a human. As a result, there may be no one to blame for the negative consequences of their actions. Since the accountability gap has been identified, this paper investigates the feasibility of attributing a criminal mind to artificial intelligence entities - such as robots. By assuming that AI entities have their own degree of consciousness, the likelihood of seeing them as holders of a guilty mind leave the inconceivable to the prospective. (Less)
