Legislative Industry Challenges In Confronting Artificial Intelligence Crimes

Mayada Moustafa El-Mahrouki

Abstract


The world is witnessing unprecedented development and progress in the field of information technology at a speed that races against time and these developments have resulted in the emergence of artificial intelligence tools that has become a tangible reality because, of its capabilities that exceed human capabilities and even become a simulation of human behavior. With the advent of "robot", society's view changed from considering these tools and technologies as just software behind a programmer or operator, to the possibility of creating a self-contained robot with an independent legal personality that entails rights and obligations, which represents a challenge for legislators to create Legal frameworks and rules commensurate with the special nature of this virtual reality, in several ways, whether in terms of protecting it or in terms of protecting society from its harms or failure to fulfill its obligations. With these challenges, many legal problems arise as to how to imagine the existence of a legal personality for a tool that does not have freedom and will, even if that tool had a reaction and decision independent of its manufacturer, programmer, or operator. So; The presented scientific paper aims to shed light on anticipating and predicting the challenges facing the legislative industry in the field of artificial intelligence technologies and discussing the difficulties that face it related to the possibility of creating an independent legal personality for artificial intelligence tools through which rights can be fulfilled and obligations assumed, and even the possibility of establishing criminal responsibility and inflicting Punishment in the event that these technologies commit crimes punishable by law.
