The Problem of Criminal Liability for Cybercrimes Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a development in the field of artificial intelligence as a result of the tremendous progress in data processing technology. This development has shown the ability to significantly change lives, even in providing machines that can perform more complex and diverse tasks for widespread use in a group of sectors. This is due to its distinguished superior ability to develop its skills and build self-experience that allows it to make decisions independent of humans. The ability to face the most extreme circumstances makes artificial intelligence programs independent in their actions from the dependency of the producer, programmer, or user. However, artificial intelligence technologies have had serious repercussions as a result of their misuse, which has led to the emergence of new forms of crimes, whether crimes committed using artificial intelligence or crimes committed by artificial intelligence itself, which has begun to raise many problems, especially with regard to responsibility for the work of these programs and the extent of the suitability of current legislation and its ability to accommodate the characteristics of this technology. Accordingly, this study aims to focus on the problem of criminal liability for cybercrimes committed by artificial intelligence technologies.
