Tekst achterflap

Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly capable of actions once reserved for humans, raising practical questions about how law and ethics should respond. This book examines the emerging debate over machine personhood, tracing how legal systems, philosophers, and technologists have approached the question of rights and responsibilities for non-human agents. Generated by an artificial intelligence, this book offers a clear, structured overview rather than speculative predictions. You will learn how existing legal categories such as corporate personhood have been proposed as models for machine status, how different ethical traditions frame questions of moral consideration, and what current legislation and court cases reveal about the direction of policy. The book also addresses practical concerns, including liability, accountability, and the limits of extending rights to artificial systems. It is intended as an introductory guide for readers seeking a grounded understanding of this developing field.
