In the US, states like Nevada and California have specific laws for autonomous vehicles and delivery bots. If you'd like to dive deeper, let me know: Are you looking at industrial bots or consumer AI?
Are you interested in (who owns what a robot creates)?
If a predictive policing robot or surveillance drone discriminates, the liability often falls on the developers for "reckless" design.
Criminal law typically requires mens rea (a guilty mind) and actus reus (a guilty act).
Robots often execute "if/then" logic via blockchain, making the code itself the binding agreement.
Many argue robots should be treated like "wild animals"—owners are responsible regardless of intent or care taken.
If a robot malfunctions, the case usually targets the manufacturer for design defects or failure to warn.
