Abstract: The purpose of the article is to study the evolution of the criminal participation in Romania, with increased attention paid to the way in which criminal liability of legal entities was accepted and developed over time, to try to formulate predictions about the future of legal persons in the criminal law and to analyse the possibility of accepting, according to the current rules, the artificial intelligence systems as subjects of criminal law. The historical perspective is doubled by comparative law case studies which are based on judgments from the United Kingdom and France that are representative for the currents of opinion regarding need to prosecute and convict legal persons together with the individuals involved in the criminal activity.

Keywords: criminal participation, corporate criminal liability, plurality of perpetrators, legal entities, artificial intelligence.
