Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the recognition of artificial intelligence systems as subjects of law. The article substantiates the assertion that at the moment there are no objective criteria for recognition or refusal to recognize something by the subject of law. The author comes to the conclusion that formally artificial intelligence can be recognized as a subject of law in a similar way to the legal capacity of a legal entity. Due to the existing differences between the properties of man and the intellectual system, humanity does not have an obligation to recognize such systems as the subject of law.
