Artificial Intelligence as a Beneficient of Fundamental Rights?

Publication at Faculty of Law |

Abstract

This paper deals with the issue, whether artificial intelligence should have any fundamental rights and whether such an idea is legitimate. The first prerequisite necessary for granting any fundamental rights to artificial intelligence is its legal personality.

Should the current scale of legal subjects be supplemented with a new category - so called electronic person? Should law - bearing in mind that artificial intelligence is not merely capable of autonomous actions, but also has its own interests and is able to recognize the consequences of its actions - award (constitutional) protection equal to the protection provided to other legal subjects?
