From robotics technology to environmental crimes involving robots

Abstract

The development of digital technologies gradually brings various changes to the life of mankind, related to the improvement of various sectors of the economy and industry. Gradually, the products of the development of these technologies become the tools without which it is impossible to imagine modern life. Relying entirely on technology in various aspects of their activities, human gradually becomes dependent on it. Highly dynamic rates of development of robotics and artificial intelligence lead to the fact that robots gradually take a place alongside humans. The capacity of some robots to self-study is a factor that cannot be ignored in modern legal relations, since the question of legal personality and responsibility for their actions was already involved. Researchers ask the question: how dangerous robotic actions can be against humans, and what legal means can prevent robots from committing crimes against their creator in particular, and the rule of law in general.
