مدى مسئولية الروبوت الطبي جنائيا كأحد تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي : دراسة تحليلية تأصيلية

Abstract EN

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the language of the era that has branched out in all fields of life, such as education, health, and other services.

It is considered as one of the fruits of modern technologies, which resulted in a huge boom in our contemporary life, particularly in the medical field through the emergence of the “medical robots” with multiple uses such as diagnosis, treatment and surgery.

This incident in fact reflects an impact on law, especially in the criminal field and the importance of the criminal responsibility of the medical robot.

Certainly this would prevent any imbalance that may occur between the general welfare of the state for society and the private patients’ safety.

Therefore the aim of this research is to address a very vital topic, which concerns the results of medical robots’ usage that could cause direct or indirect damages either deliberately or mistakenly in the light of manipulative criminal responsibility between several interrelated parties.

Accordingly, the scope of this study revolves around examining the general law rules and texts related to criminal responsibility.

It also shows the applicability to some criminal manifestations of the medical robots, which provoke into some national laws comparing and clarifying the legal framework.

Hence is it possible for a medical robot to commit a crime while performing its work? The research followed the analytical and original approach to the existed general law texts and rules, with a comparison with other legal texts.

The study has reached a set of results; the most important of which is that the medical robot is considered a double edged sword, with a limit legal personality that stands helpless facing many problems.

In addition, the theory of the human representative that may helps sometimes, however it does not mean a default legal personality.

Therefore, the study recommends some necessary developments in the criminal liability system and procedures through their specifications in artificial intelligence crimes.
