Abstract

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in corporate strategies introduces significant challenges to corporate criminal liability. Traditionally, corporations can be held liable for crimes committed by human agents under the doctrine of respondeat superior, but AI systems complicates this framework. The article explores some legal implications of AI-induced crimes, focusing on the need for robust compliance and risk management practices. It emphasizes the potential for AI to influence corporate decisionmaking and the conditions under which companies may be held liable for AI-related offenses. The discussion highlights the importance of preventive measures to mitigate these risks and offers insights for stakeholders on navigating the evolving criminal law landscape.
