As artificial intelligence (AI) systems evolve beyond mere computational tools, they increasingly function as autonomous decision-makers in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and transportation. This paper explores whether AI should be granted legal subjectivity, analyzing theoretical, legal, and ethical implications. Drawing on international regulations, legal frameworks, and expert opinions, the research examines various liability models, the role of AI in digital economies, and potential regulatory frameworks. The study employs the IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) format to provide a structured approach to AI legal personhood. The conclusions suggest that while AI lacks moral agency, structured liability and oversight mechanisms can integrate it into existing legal frameworks without granting full legal personhood.
