Research Project:
Artificial Negligence and Human Criminal Liability (CRIM-AI)
AI systems bring fundamental changes to our environments, some of which have an impact on criminal liability, due to the shift from the classic notion of “product”. Existing criminal liability rules may not always protect the legal goods, which may lead to a “responsibility gap”.
The research project aims to answer the fundamental question concerning the relationship between law and technological progress in order to guarantee the safeguarding of fundamental rights and values under criminal law in the light of the European principles for a trustworthy AI.
The field of investigation is the negligence of AI systems’ manufacturer and user in case of an algorithmic error, defined as “artificial negligence”. In such a context, the project seeks to identify areas of legislative intervention, balancing the need for the safeguards of legal goods, on the one hand, and the respect of the principles of individual responsibility and legality under criminal law, on the other hand. These reflections are then tailored into two specific contexts of the use of AI systems: that of automated vehicles and AI in healthcare.
