Categorization of the circle of entities covered with the right to life today seems obvious and indisputable. Intense development of artificial intelligence, also the fact that it has passed the Turing test which checks AI’s thinking ability in a way similar to human reasoning, inspires a reflection on AI’s future legal status.
