The Philosophical Challengers of Criminal Law Confronting Artificial Intelligence (Analytical Approach)

Abstract

Abstract: Modern criminal law is facing significant philosophical challenges due to the rapid development artificial intelligence. Established notions like the criminal actor, intent, and liability are increasingly inadequate for dealing with offences involving self-learning Al systems. The traditional model, which links criminal acts to the conscious intent of a human, is being fundamentally questioned as digital entities gain the ability to make decision independently of human programming. As a result, criminal law theory must reconsider how responsibilities and attributions are assigned in this new context-doing so in a way that both reflects the complex nature of digital offenses and pre preserves the core values of legality and justice. This research explores the major philosophical dilemmas Al present to conventional criminal law and proposes a revised legal and conceptual approach that moves beyond a human-centered view, thereby laying the foundation for criminal theories capable of addressing the emerging digital reality.
