This research investigates the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and criminal jurisprudence, specifically addressing the challenges posed by autonomous systems to established legal personhood. As technological innovation outpaces traditional regulatory frameworks, the necessity for a dynamic, graduated approach to legal subjectivity becomes increasingly apparent. This study employs a doctrinal analysis of current cyber laws and scholarly discourse to evaluate how accountability structures can be effectively integrated into existing judicial processes. Findings suggest that standardized procedural protections are essential to prevent the erosion of fundamental rights in automated environments. By proposing a framework that balances technological advancement with the preservation of human-centric justice, this work offers a roadmap for legislative reform. This research provides the necessary foundation for ensuring that justice systems remain robust, transparent, and equitable, maintaining their core integrity despite the rapid and profound changes brought about by digital transformation in the global legal landscape.
