Will I go to jail if I made an Artificial Intelligence?
<p>I am a programmer, I'm always using different programming languages to make something like a hobby or just my playground. </p>

<p>Now I have several insights of how can I make an Artificial Intelligence, and before making something, a question pop up to my mind, will I go to jail if I accidentally made one? </p>

<p>I mean, my purpose of making it is educational, but since it is AI, it has its own learning system and can be a threat onto something or anything. Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Almost certainly not.  My "almost" is because it is theoretically possible that your jurisdiction has a law which outlaws the development of AI.  To check for that, see if any of the universities in your jurisdiction have AI groups in the Computer Science department.  If they do, you can be pretty confident that it is legal.</p>

<p>(Aside: the chances of a lone hobbyist developing an AI more successfully than dedicated university groups or large corporations like Facebook and Google is minimal; but that doesn't affect the legality.)</p>
