Artificial Intelligence and Criminal Liability Challenges in Regulating AI-Driven Crimes

Author(s) Dr. Sangeeta Masani

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most transformative technologies of the twenty-first century. AI systems are now capable of autonomous decision-making, predictive analysis, facial recognition, natural language processing, and automated operations across multiple sectors including healthcare, finance, governance, transportation, and law enforcement. While AI has generated immense social and economic benefits, it has simultaneously created complex legal and criminal liability issues. AI-driven crimes, such as autonomous cyberattacks, deepfake frauds, algorithmic discrimination, automated financial manipulation, and autonomous weapon-related offences, challenge the traditional principles of criminal jurisprudence. Existing criminal laws are primarily designed around human intention, knowledge, negligence, and physical acts. However, AI systems often function autonomously, making it difficult to determine criminal responsibility. This paper examines the concept of AI-driven crimes, analyzes the limitations of existing criminal liability principles, and discusses the challenges in regulating AI-related offences. It further evaluates international approaches and proposes legal reforms for ensuring accountability in the age of intelligent machines.
