An artificial intelligence (let's call it BOB-1) has committed a crime punishable by law. Would Bob receive said punishment since it committed a crime or would nothing happen because it is not a human?

Is this asking "will the first AI in the world to autonomously commit a crime get punished?" If so, would getting shut down / destroyed without legal involvement count, or only if it's a legal conviction with a sentence?

What are the resolution criteria?

did a human direct the AI to commit the crime?

@mattyb nope, it decided itself
