Course unit content

The module aims to provide an overview of the main problems posed by the impact of artificial intelligence on criminal law and cybercrimes.
One part of the module will therefore be devoted to the use of AI in criminal justice (investigations, decisions, prognosis, etc.) and to the physiognomy of criminal guilt in activities where AI is used, with particular reference to self-driving cars.
Another part of the module will be devoted to the main cybercrimes, from abusive access to a computer system, to computer damage hypotheses, up to computer fraud, with particular regard to the recent reform introduced by Law no. 90/2024.
