Course unit content

The module aims to provide a focus on the main issues raised by connections between Criminal Law and artificial intelligence (A.I.).
In fact, artificial intelligence not only has an impact on so-called cybercrimes, but it can also suggest a reconsideration of the dogma according to which machina delinquere non potest.
In particular, A.I. is explored in its impact in terms of (i) law enforcement, (ii) so-called automated decision systems, (iii) crime risk assessment tools, and (iv) use of artificial intelligence itself in the commission of crimes.
