THE NECESSARY ELEMENTS FOR THE ROBOT TO RECEIVE CITIZENSHIP, WHETHER AS A PERSON OR AN OBJECT
Main Article Content
Abstract
There have been a number of developments at the international level in the field of artificial intelligence, in which the whole world has accelerated its research, due to its dangerous nature for the humankind. What attracts our attention for research is the idea of granting citizenship to the robot. This raises the problem of the availability of citizenship elements in the robot. This leads us to research the possibility for the robot to receive citizenship as a natural, a moral person, or an object. In addition to the need to search for other elements to grant it citizenship, namely the extent to which the State is free to grant the robot citizenship and the link between them. Finally, we end up saying that it is necessary to grant citizenship to the robot, but under certain conditions, after classifying the types of robots, and with a legal system studied in detail by specialists in the legal, and the artificial intelligence fields.
