Abstract:
This article analyzes the relationship between the recognition of artificial intelligence as a legal person and its criminal liability from a theoretical and practical perspective. The author evaluates the degree of autonomy of artificial intelligence systems, the ability to make informed decisions, and the criteria for freedom of will from the point of view of legal subjectivity. The article comparatively studies the national experiences of Japan, the USA, the European Union, and China, and analyzes the ways of determining the legal status of artificial intelligence based on different legal approaches. According to the results of the study, the legal personality and criminal liability of artificial intelligence have a complementary, systematic and dialectical relationship, and the need to develop international legal standards in this area is substantiated. For Uzbekistan, proposals are put forward on the formation of national legal mechanisms based on the experience of Europe and Japan.
