About

Mihail Andreevich Kirillov is a pioneering legal scholar at the intersection of criminal law, artificial intelligence, and robotics. His research confronts one of the most pressing questions of our time: how should legal systems adapt when non-human actors cause harm? In his landmark 2023 study, "Robotics, artificial intelligence and criminal law: An overview of contemporary studies," Kirillov systematically examines the inadequacies of existing criminal law frameworks in addressing AI-driven offenses. He provocatively argues that the legal system must strike a delicate balance between fostering technological innovation and ensuring accountability, raising fundamental questions about the legal status of robots and their potential criminal responsibility. Though a relatively new voice in the field, his work has already garnered significant attention, with his most-cited paper accumulating 4 citations—a strong start for such a nascent area of inquiry. Kirillov’s scholarship is essential reading for anyone grappling with the ethical and legal dimensions of autonomous systems, and his forward-thinking analysis positions him as a key architect of the legal frameworks that will govern our increasingly automated future.
