THE LEGAL PERSONALITY OF INTELLIGENT ROBOTS: BETWEEN EXISTENCE AND NON-EXISTENCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current global development has led to the emergence of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, primarily based on artificial intelligence systems. This has led to numerous applications, the most important of which are intelligent robots. Undoubtedly, their entry into various fields has raised many legal issues. The treatment of these robots is one of the issues that has led legal scholars to consider the possibility of granting them legal personality, either by including them among recognized legal entities or by assigning them new legal rules, thus recognizing them as a distinct category. This proposal has received support from some legal entities while facing opposition from others.
