On the morning of June 4, Wukesong Academic lecture hosted by the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of the school and undertaken by the School of Law was held in Room 613 of Sanshan Building. The lecture was delivered by Associate Professor Liu Chunhua of the School of Law, with the theme of "Algorithms on Wheels and Crime in the Virtual: How Can Criminal Law Protect Justice in the AI Era?". More than 100 student representatives from the School of Law participated.

With the explosive development of AI technology, algorithm applications have penetrated into the fields of transportation and virtual space. Liu Chunhua pointed out that while autonomous driving technology improves travel efficiency, it also derives dual legal dilemmas: on the one hand, it is necessary to regulate the algorithm logic through criminal law to ensure that vehicles abide by traffic rules and ensure personal safety; On the other hand, when a traffic accident occurs, it is necessary to clarify the division of responsibilities between manufacturers, software developers, and car owners to avoid legal gaps.

AI crimes in virtual space are characterized by strong concealment and difficulty in collecting evidence. From AI deepfake technology to create false information, to intelligent programs to commit online fraud and infringe on personal privacy, the technological iteration of criminal methods challenges traditional criminal investigation and evidence rules. Liu Chunhua stressed that the criminal law system needs to be upgraded from three aspects: first, improve the legal framework and clarify the boundaries of responsibility for AI research and development and application; second, build a cross-departmental coordination mechanism to improve the efficiency of cracking down on new crimes; The third is to strengthen technical supervision and prevent the risk of technology abuse through preemptive measures such as algorithm transparency and data security review.

"Criminal law is not only the guardian of justice, but also the escort of technological development." Liu Chunhua said in the summary that in the face of the governance needs of the AI era, criminal law needs to take the initiative to innovate while maintaining humility, seek a balance between technological risk prevention and control and innovation incentives, and finally achieve the dual goal of "protecting the bottom line of justice and promoting technology for good".

This lecture is one of the important contents of the training of the Party School of the School of Law. Through this lecture, teachers and students had in-depth exchanges on issues such as AI ethics and the application of law, providing a new perspective for understanding legal changes in the technological era.
