The purpose of the article is to determine the legal nature of artificial intelligence and develop a unified approach to establishing the possible legal personality, as well as the legal responsibility of artificial intelligence. Methodology and Approach. The authors analyzed the existing scientific literature and the legal framework in the field of legal regulation of artificial intelligence. The methodological basis of the research is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, including abstract-logical, correlation analysis and comparison. Results. The analysis has shown that currently there is no definition of the concept of «artificial intelligence», there is a problem of recognizing it as a subject of law. The authors argue that only by solving the above issues it is possible to form a model of legal regulation, including a number of legal relations involving artificial intelligence and assigning it legal responsibility. It is considered optimal to grant artificial intelligence limited legal personality (through the use of legal fiction), the obligation to bear responsibility for harm and negative consequences.

The theoretical and practical significance of the research lies due to the current lack of the possibility of applying legal norms and rules that take into account their essence to relations involving artificial intelligence. The main provisions and conclusions of the study can be used to improve the mechanisms of legal regulation of artificial intelligence.
