Toward a Conceptual Network for the Private Law of Artificial Intelligence

This paper is a review of the publication entitled Toward a Conceptual Network for the Private Law of Artificial Intelligence. The book, which includes 12 chapters, describes a coherent and comprehensive concept of regulating the legal phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI). he book identifies the nature of AI and the need for its legal regulation, proposing to award AI limited legal personality as a participant of global trade. The publication outlines the premises for its award and presents proposals as to how to register AI in the situation when it is assigned legal personality (advanced AI). It indicates the consequences of such an approach when AI has the competency to enter into contracts, assume rights and obligations as well as ownership titles, personal copyrights or liability for injury under tort law. According to this concept, AI itself or entities that use it will be assigned liability for its functioning. This novel concept is the focus of the reflections presented below, which explore its recognition as a subject by law, as well as its existence and technological development in the era of the 4th industrial revolution.
