Artificial Intelligence and Criminal Law

The collection revisits the principles of criminal law in the light of technological innovation, explaining the current regulations on AI, their impact on criminal law, how national and international legislators have approached AI in criminal matters, and what we can expect in the future in terms of changes to criminal law to meet the challenges posed by AI.
A large section is dedicated to the principles governing criminal law. Here, these are reinterpreted considering technological innovations, in search of solutions that guarantee the evolution of legal systems in line with cultural and constitutional traditions, while ensuring the effectiveness of criminal law in the face of the interaction between humans and AI in the commission of a crime. The analysis of AI rules in Europe and China, and their impact on criminal law, forms the central and fundamental part of the volume, which provides an overview of current legislation and its impact on national criminal systems and international criminal law. Finally, the volume addresses the micro and macro issues that intersect criminal law and artificial intelligence, addressing regulatory, interpretative, and principled issues in some of the sectors most affected by the advent of new technologies.
The book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Criminal Law, International Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Information Technology Law and Comparative Law.
