  • Abstract:

    The tech-tsunami wave has hit the shore, and there's barely any sector remaining untouched by artificial intelligence. We've reached an advanced level in developing Artificial intelligence. However, they're still lying in infancy in establishing their legal identity, adjudications by the Courts acknowledging their legal status, consequences of their actions and omissions, data security, and transparency while developing them. Imagine an artificial persona created which passes the biometric test or an A.I. doing tasks involving risk, financial or civil or criminal liability. Does this rising shift require for a legal personhood to be attached to an A.I. and if then legal identity is established can responsibility be figured out, they can be sued and may sue, be held accountable for unlawful activities and the thin line of being considered as a tool or a human equivalent machine be put off? The reignition of this discussion granting legal identity to an A.I., keeping in mind the lack of capacity of an A.I. to be punished or their disqualification to be a surety or a trustee, remains in question. Additionally, the convergence of legality- Hindrances and Solutions, the applicability of vicarious liability principles, rights or duties in artificial intelligence, and it to be treated as a legitimate subject of law and the facet of human rights in line with artificial intelligence.
