Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is profoundly transforming society, in particular through the gradual implementation of autonomous vehicles. However, this technological evolution introduces new legal challenges, particularly in the area of criminal liability. In the event of an offence involving a delegated driving vehicle, does the responsibility lie with the driver, the manufacturer, the programmer, or the system itself? This issue invites us to rethink the concepts of responsibility and imputability in criminal law. The aim is to examine how current criminal law can be adapted to autonomous technologies, in particular by developing a theory of liability and analysing the attribution of human fault in situations of negligence or recklessness. Finally, the rise of Artificial Intelligence raises the question of the recognition of a legal personality for these technologies, making a legal reform necessary in order to better regulate the responsibilities of autonomous vehicles and their designers.
