Feasibility Study of Granting Legal Personality to Smart Robots Based on European Union Resolution (Electronic Person)

امکان سنجی اعطای شخصیت حقوقی به ربات های هوشمند با تکیه بر مصوبه اتحادیه اروپا (شخص الکترونیک)

Report State lawWestern Asia · IRin force

This academic paper examines the feasibility of granting legal personality ("electronic person") to smart robots, based on a proposal and resolution by the European Union. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the author evaluates the current level of artificial intelligence autonomy, ethical challenges, and legal implications. The study concludes that granting legal personality is currently unnecessary and unjustified, suggesting instead that robots should be treated as products with strict liability along the supply chain.

What the document contains

What's covered

The article covers the definitions of artificial intelligence and robotics, the intersection of law and technology, ethical considerations such as the trolley problem, historical and philosophical perspectives on legal rights, and an evaluation of the European Union's proposal to grant electronic personality to smart robots.

What's missing

The text does not provide binding statutory regulations or enforcement mechanisms, functioning instead as a scholarly feasibility study and legal critique.

Key takeaways
  • Granting legal personality to smart robots is currently not feasible or justified because artificial intelligence has not reached full autonomy and moral agency.
  • The European Union's proposed "electronic person" concept aims to address third-party liability and compensation for damages caused by autonomous robots.
  • Treating robots as products with strict joint and several liability across manufacturers, developers, and users is a more practical approach than creating electronic personhood.
  • Smart robots lack true feelings, consciousness, and the ability to resolve complex ethical dilemmas like human beings.
