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. Then the system will use the acquired knowledge to perform even more difficult tasks. This phenomenon is being studied by world scientists, each of whom contributes to the development of artificial intelligence. The article examines two concepts of legal regulation of artificial intelligence – the subject theory and the object theory. The author of the paper gives arguments according to which the development of civil legislation of Ukraine should be carried out according to the vector of perception of artificial intelligence as an object of civil legal relations. The rules for regulating relations on the use of artificial intelligence should be concentrated within the framework of intellectual property law, IT law and consumer legislation.
