Los delitos a partir del uso de IA y su tipificación en la legislación penal ecuatoriana

This research analyzes crimes arising from the use of artificial intelligence in Ecuador and their impact on the criminal justice system, highlighting how advances in this technology are giving rise to new types of crime that challenge traditional regulatory frameworks and create legal loopholes that hinder effective prosecution. It studies the most frequent crimes associated with AI, such as automated fraud, data manipulation, and the generation of false content, exploring their main characteristics and applications in the field of law. Criminal liability is affected when autonomous systems are involved. It includes a comparative analysis of various international legislations, the United States, Spain, and China, along with their cases, which allows for the identification of regulatory strategies applicable to the Ecuadorian context. In Ecuador, there are gaps in the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code to address these technological challenges, creating a need for legislative reforms to determine criminal liability among developers, operators, and users. It is concluded that inter-institutional cooperation is important to prevent and punish the misuse of AI, promote digital literacy programs, and thus contribute to the construction of a legal framework that guarantees the protection of rights and promotes responsible technological development in Ecuador.
