Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this scientific paper is to shed light on the challenges facing the legislative industry in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Specifically, it aims to anticipate and predict the difficulties related to creating an independent legal personality for AI tools, enabling them to assume rights and obligations, as well as establishing criminal responsibility and punishment in cases where AI technologies commit crimes punishable by law.

 

Methods: To achieve the stated objectives, this paper employs a theoretical and analytical approach. It involves a comprehensive review and analysis of existing literature, legal frameworks, and case studies related to the legal implications of AI technologies. Additionally, hypothetical scenarios and potential challenges are discussed to illustrate the complexities involved in creating legal frameworks that address the unique nature of AI tools and their impact on society.

 

Results: The analysis reveals several key challenges facing the legislative industry in the field of AI technologies. These challenges include the conceptualization of an independent legal personality for AI tools, determining the rights and obligations associated with such personality, and establishing mechanisms for holding AI technologies accountable for their actions. Furthermore, the paper explores the difficulties in imposing criminal responsibility and punishment on AI technologies in cases where they commit crimes.

 

Conclusion: In conclusion, this scientific paper highlights the complexities and challenges associated with creating legal frameworks for AI technologies. By anticipating and predicting these challenges, it provides valuable insights for legislators, policymakers, and legal professionals involved in shaping the regulatory landscape for AI. Moving forward, it is essential to address these challenges proactively and develop legal frameworks that strike a balance between promoting innovation and safeguarding societal interests in the era of artificial intelligence.
