The legal nature of artificial intelligence

Abstract

   With the application of artificial intelligence in many fields, it has had a profound impact on human social relations, and the traditional civil law provisions have demonstrated a legal lag in adjusting artificial intelligence. The definition of the legal nature of artificial intelligence further determines its legal protection methods and regulatory models. This article analyzes and compares the advantages and disadvantages of the three possibilities of artificial intelligence becoming a legal object, a legal subject and a legal fiction subject. From a functional perspective, we explore the theory of the rights and responsibilities of artificial intelligence, try to construct an idea of identifying artificial intelligence as a legal subject, and explain the legal normative advantages brought by this.
