AI ACT: CRIMINAL LIABILITY OF THE PROVIDER AND DEPLOYER

Laura Anna Terrizzi

The AI Act, the world's first legislation regulating the development, placing on the market and use of artificial intelligence systems, is about to come into force. Although the debate on liability currently focuses mainly on civil law remedies - which, by their very nature, are a particularly effective means of protecting people harmed by artificial intelligence systems - the advent of AI will also have an impact on criminal liability.

In this article, we will therefore look at the scenarios opened up by the Regulation, with particular reference to the criminal law implications for players such as the provider and the deployer.
