Granting legal personality to artificial intelligence: reality or fiction

Abstract

 As a result of the damages caused by the various uses of artificial intelligence 

 in all aspects of life—and the material and physical harm resulting from such use—a question arises regarding who should bear responsibility for these damages. Should liability be attributed to the artificial intelligence itself, or should it fall upon its manufacturer or user?  

The answer to this question depends on the concept of legal personality and whether artificial intelligence can be granted such personality, alongside natural and legal persons to whom legislators have already granted legal status. 

The issue is not simple, and this study seeks to answer the following question: What are the limits of recognizing artificial intelligence as having legal personality, and what are the serious legal implications of such recognition? 

The study concludes that, due to the nature and lack of independence in the activity of artificial intelligence, civil liability for damages caused by artificial intelligence for the owner or manufacturer, or inventor or the producer according to the nature of damage and responsibility.
