01Research Focus

Rethinking responsibility in the age of intelligent systems.

Criminal law has long assumed that punishable conduct can be traced to a bounded, identifiable human agent. Artificial intelligence, robotics and digitally mediated environments increasingly test that assumption.

Criminal Responsibility & AI

How should criminal law attribute culpability when human decisions are mediated by autonomous systems, predictive tools or intelligent interfaces?

Hybrid Agency

What happens to intention, control and accountability when human action is extended through robotic systems, neuroprosthetics or human-machine environments?

Digital Evidence

How can courts preserve adversarial review when evidence is encrypted, algorithmically processed or structurally opaque?

Judicial Cooperation

How should judicial institutions prepare for AI-enabled cooperation while protecting legality, fairness and human rights?
