AI through the Prism of Its Legal Personality: Basic Characteristics

The issue of extending legal liability to artificial intelligence — that is broader than its legal capacity — has been within law and technology. The main array of questions in this area is focused on understanding the specific characteristics of artificial intelligence in the context of its regulation, which inevitably leads to a number of fundamental and applied questions. The integration of artificial intelligence into the legal framework requires a clear understanding of its functional capabilities and limitations. Its autonomy and ability to self-learn provide a basis for discussions about legal personality and the potential for accountability. Such considerations inevitably raise questions about how exactly artificial intelligence can participate in legal relationships, as well as what rights and obligations may be associated with its functioning. In this regard, one of the cornerstones remains the question of introducing artificial intelligence into the circle of entities subject to legal liability, which necessitates the exploration of existing approaches to defining this category and the subsequent step of developing acceptable conceptual approaches concerning the legal capacity of modern technologically complex systems. The main task of the research is to present the existing conceptual constructs, based on a detailed analysis of the existing concepts regarding artificial intelligence and its legal capacity.
