Právna zodpovednosť a umelá inteligencia
Legal Responsibility and Artificial Intelligence

Summary/Abstract: Artificial Intelligence can potentially transform how we understand criminal liability, which is the foundation of the criminal justice system. Moral actors, moral agency and responsibility are crucial components in this dilemma, which is significant even today, but its significance will increase in an era of exponential technological innovation. New technological development, especially machine learning results in a situation, were the responsibility of a natural person (like the programmer) is highly questionable. This article aims to analyse the moral responsibility and the possible criminal liability in situation where AI technology created a complex and unclear legal and moral conundrum. This article argues that a natural person can bear the responsibility for the actions of an AI from a consequentialist perspective if the AI does not stand at the level of explicit morality and the natural person had mens rea or acted with criminal negligence. Theoretical research is essential as both national and international legal regulations of this field must be based on solid understanding of personhood and moral agency.
