About
In-Young Lee is a legal scholar whose work bridges the emerging frontiers of artificial intelligence and criminal law. Her research focuses on the criminal liability of AI robots, exploring how traditional legal doctrines—particularly Professor K. Ryu’s acting subject theory—can be adapted to hold autonomous systems accountable. In her most-cited paper, "Criminal Liability of AI Robots and Responsibility principle," Lee grapples with the fundamental question of whether AI can be considered a legal subject capable of criminal intent, proposing a framework that extends responsibility principles to non-human actors. While her citation count (3) reflects the niche but growing interest in this area, her contribution is significant for pioneering the intersection of AI ethics and criminal jurisprudence in South Korea. By challenging established legal categories, Lee’s work has implications for legislators, technologists, and legal theorists navigating the accountability gaps created by increasingly autonomous machines. Her scholarship invites students and researchers to reconsider the boundaries of legal personhood in an age of intelligent systems.
