Abstract
The author analyzed various views on artificial intelligence as a subject of law. The issues of its original nature are discussed, and the logic of the transition of the subject of law from the subject of cognition is analyzed. Further, based on the experience of endowing non-human entities with the status of a subject of law, the feasibility of assigning the corresponding status to artificial intelligence is studied. Ultimately, conclusions are made about the prematurity and risks of endowing artificial intelligence with such a status at the current stage of development of social relations.
