The robot capable of thinking and acting like a human being has been the fantasy of mankind since antiquity. In the same way that God created us in His own image, we feel that we have the power, and possibly the duty, to create a creature that resembles us. It is in this dynamic, in this kind of ontological transference, that mankind approaches all questions relating to intelligent robots. Stirring up both fear and fascination, the phenomenon has for some years now been making its way into the legal arena. As it attempts to make its way into a world already embraced by technological science, literature, cinema and even philosophy, the law - and more specifically criminal law - is also keen to play its part in anticipating the repercussions of this robotic revolution. To understand the phenomenon, we'll be looking at Robotum criminalis, an intelligent robotic entity that commits crimes on its own or under human control. In this way, it will be possible to demonstrate that the penal norm can be a formidable instrument for deciphering all issues relating to robotics and artificial intelligence.
Avant-garde without being overly imaginative, this book attempts to use criminal law as a means of anticipating the potential legal consequences of the gradual introduction of intelligent robots into our societies.
