Authors

Gabriel Hallevy

Abstract

The modem question relating to Al entities becomes: Does the growing intelligence of Al entities subject them to legal social control as any other legal entity?This article attempts to work out a legal solution to the problem of the criminal liability of Al entities. At the outset, a definition of an Al entity will be presented. Based on that definition, this article will then propose and introduce three models of Al entity criminal liability:

(1) The Perpetration-via-Another Liability Model

(2) The Natural-Probable-Consequence Liability Model

(3) The Direct Liability Model.
