Artificial intelligence as an object of civil law regulation. Revista Jurídica Portucalense

Abstract

The phrase "artificial intelligence" was first used in 1956, and since then it has raised a lot of questions that still have no answer. In general, artificial intelligence is a system that simulates human behaviour at an elementary level. This is necessary so that the machine performs various tasks and learns something new in the process of performing. The purpose of the study is to examine and discuss two concepts of legal regulation concerning artificial intelligence (AI) – the subject theory and the object theory. The study aims to analyze these concepts and present arguments for perceiving AI as an object of civil legal relations in the development of civil legislation in Ukraine. The article used such scientific methods as literature review, conceptual analysis, argumentation, comparative analysis, legal interpretation and synthesis. The rules for regulating relations on the use of artificial intelligence should be concentrated within the framework of intellectual property law, IT laws and consumer legislation.
