Summary/Abstract: This study offers a doctrinal and comparative analysis of the foundations and limits of recognizing artificial intelligence (AI) as a subject of criminal law. It examines whether autonomous systems, capable of making independent decisions, can bear criminal liability, while criminal law traditionally relies on personal culpability. The study reviews arguments for and against such recognition and explores alternative models of liability attribution centered on human actors.
