Brief summary:
Criminal liability in the age of artificial intelligence raises complex legal challenges, as AI systems act autonomously without human intent or men area. Poland and the European Union adopt a preventive, regulatory-first approach through frameworks like the EU AI Act, while India relies on adapting existing laws such as the Penal Code and IT Act. Both systems grapple with assigning responsibility when AI causes harm, debating models like programmer liability, corporate accountability, strict liability, or even electronic personhood. The central challenge is balancing accountability with innovation while reimagining criminal law for an AI-driven future. We warmly welcome all members and friends of our Faculty community to this engaging and thought-provoking session!
