Abstract

Assuming that companies exercise a role of undeniable relevance in the production and use of artificial intelligence systems (AI), we will address in this paper the criminal and procedural aspects of this relationship. After a brief study of the concept, procedures and limitations of this technology, we will analyze the difficulties it imposes on the attribution of criminal responsibilities, which end up justifying the adoption of specific models of corporate criminal liability also in this area. On the other hand, we will observe that, even as users, legal entities do not have unrestricted freedom to use AI in their compliance programs, and must comply with certain legal parameters, especially if they intend to obtain criminal benefits through effective compliance.
