Personificação das máquinas e a responsabilidade civil da inteligência artificial: a necessidade de um regime jurídico para atender às demandas tecnológicas

Abstract

Technological innovations, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence, have brought changes to society that challenge the traditional paradigms of Civil Law. The granting of citizenship to the Sophia machine in Saudi Arabia set a historical precedent never seen before. From this, there is a debate about the possibility of inaugurating a new way of personality, electronic. This study is intended to investigate the consequences and legal implications of damages caused by autonomous acts of machines with Artificial Intelligence. In this sense, it must be analyzed whether liability occurs to third parties or the machine itself, if it is feasible to recognize the electronic person. Therefore, the current bases of civil law, such as personality and civil liability, must serve as a guide to resolve the problems brought about by the autonomy of machines. Civil Law, in particular civil liability, is challenged when holding responsibility for acts carried out by Artificial Intelligence, which will be the subject of investigation in this work.
