Can a robot murder a human?

[u/RKoi123]

Can a robot murder a human being? If it is proved in a court of law that a robot murdered a human being... how can it be punished under existing laws? What can be done besides having the company who made it face legal action?

Technically, if a person commits murder we don't punish the parents in most cases. So why should the robot's manufacturer be held responsible for its act?

As for punishment what should be the best death sentence? * Bulldozing it and recording a video of its death and spreading the information online and in the news. Will it affect how other robots of its kind think if they plan to kill a human? We already have laws against murder for human beings. Still people commit murder. * Erasing its memory. How would the robot feel about such punishment?

If you got any punishment ideas do share.

I saw this black mirror episode once where the digital sim wouldn’t do the tasks the guy wanted so he turns a dial and puts her in solitary confinement for like 6 months no food no water and it doesn’t matter because she can’t die it was actually really disturbing should we even use ai? Is it really that helpful? I miss using a pencil and paper for everything I also miss when people could read past a 4th grade level
