Artificial intelligence as a subject of law: Development prospects

The article notes that robots that have the ability to recognize objects, perceive and analyze information, make decisions and learn are likely to be able to become aware of their selves. All this causes new legal and ethical problems. Therefore, the question of the legal status of work with artificial intelligence is relevant in modern conditions. Within the framework of the article, the purpose is to study the issue: the need to regulate the status and use of “end” products of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies. The study subject is a set of theoretical and practical issues related to the recognition of artificial intelligence as a subject of law, the analysis of the legal consequences of such recognition and the prospects for the development of the corresponding legal regulation. The study object is artificial intelligence as a technology (nature, possibilities, limitations, like development rates) and its potential impact on society, moral and ethical aspects of social life. To achieve the purpose, the author uses a system of methods of scientific knowledge, including general scientific (analysis, synthesis), private (comparative, quantitative and qualitative analysis), like special legal (formal-legal, comparative-legal) methods. The main researchers studying the mentioned problems are M. Weiner, D. Gudyma, D. Hrytsai, L. Brodbeck, M. Rubenstein and others.
