Abstract

This research aims to identify the prospects for recognizing the international legal personality of artificial intelligence, taking into account the practice of international organizations. The article describes a new idea based on the research of the existing practice of international organizations and the application of the author’s concept of international legal personality of legal entities, enabling the identification of the main directions of recognizing the international legal personality of artificial intelligence. Using the problematic-theoretical, formal-legal, logical, systemic-structural methods and methods of synthesis, analysis, and comparison, the author revealed two solutions to the problem of recognizing the international legal personality of artificial intelligence. The first way to resolve the problem is that states may grant the legal entity rights to artificial intelligence, gradually developing an international custom. The second way is that states may conclude that artificial intelligence will be granted a legal entity’s rights or sui generis by participating in discussions organized by various international organizations. The results of the study can be used for international unification.

Highlights

  • The development of technologies in the 21st century has led to new objects, which the author conditionally calls information and communication systems: big data, neural networks, distributed registries, and artificial intelligence

  • Whereas the purpose of the study is to identify the prospects for recognizing the international legal personality of artificial intelligence at the universal level, the working materials of international organizations operating at the universal level were used to prepare the study

  • States may conclude that artificial intelligence will be granted the rights of a legal entity or rights sui generis, a new legal fiction, by participating in discussions organized by various international organizations

Summary

Introduction

The development of technologies in the 21st century has led to new objects, which the author conditionally calls information and communication systems: big data, neural networks, distributed registries, and artificial intelligence. New technologies as new objects of international information relations have led to the need for theoretical developments in the field of international law, primarily related to issues of the proper legal regulation of information and communication systems. The issue of recognition of the international legal personality of artificial intelligence from an abstract idea passes into the applied sphere due to the activities of international organizations at the universal level in the regulation of the use of artificial intelligence in the interests of all mankind. The International Telecommunication Union has always been a leader in solving the problems of legal regulation of international information relations. He held World Summits on the Information Society, which made a significant contribution to regulating information and communication technologies. Since 2017, the ITU has created a new discussion platform—the AI for Good Global Summit, which develops topical issues of using artificial intelligence
