Concept, Criminal Legal Aspects of the Artificial Intelligence and Its Role in Crime Control

Summary/Abstract: In an effort to define the term “artificial intelligence” in a proper way, it is necessary to consider a series of philosophical, sociological, political, psychological, and legal determinations of the term. The legal norming and research of still insufficiently investigated and complex issues requires a starting point based on clearly and precisely defined relevant terms. Hence the conceptual definition of “artificial intelligence” as a complex notion was given, and some dominant conceptual approaches in the understanding of the relevant phenomenon were also considered. The main conclusion of the paper refers to the fact that, inevitably, determinant not only of the human behavior, but also for human being as a person, undoubtedly, besides intelligence, are also identity, experience, integrity, attitudes, morale, creativity, motivation, emotions, habits, obsessions etc. All those characteristics of a human being are not programmable and predictable, according to the current state of science. In regard to that, it can be concluded that artificial intelligence is only a partial humanization of robots and machines, in terms of those characteristics of a human that can be more clearly determined and predicted using inductive and deductive methods, which are mostly based on a rational basis. The issue of legal subjectivity of artificial intelligence units – robots/machines/software – was considered as well. Also a special emphasis is placed on the ability of artificial intelligence units to be subjects to criminal liability. Finally, the role of “intelligent” technology in crime control was also analyzed.
