Abstract

The unparalleled development of artificial intelligence systems has fundamentally questioned conventional legal systems and ideas of personhood, therefore requiring a thorough review of how legal systems handle non-human creatures. The philosophical, legal, and pragmatic consequences of granting legal personhood to artificial intelligence systems are extensively analyzed in this work. By means of thorough investigation of current legal systems, new regulatory strategies, and comparative legal analysis across several jurisdictions, this study generates a complex knowledge of how legal systems might change to enable progressively autonomous artificial intelligence systems while maintaining basic legal principles and society values. Drawing on legal theory, computer science, ethics, and policy studies, the study uses a multidisciplinary approach to suggest a complete framework for artificial intelligence legal status. The research covers broad technical analysis of AI system capabilities including deep learning architectures achieving accuracy rates exceeding 97% in decision-making tasks, natural language processing systems demonstrating human-parity performance in complex reasoning tasks, and autonomous systems capable of running over 10,000 independent transactions per second. These technical capacities and the growing integration of artificial intelligence systems into important social activities call for new legal frameworks that can sufficiently handle the special issues presented by artificial intelligence while preserving strong protections for human rights and interests.
