Abstract:

In the UAE, like in many countries, robotics and AI are primarily addressed within existing legal frameworks, which are adapted to encompass emerging technologies. While UAE law does not provide legal personhood to robots or AI systems, it addresses various aspects related to their use, operation, and liability. Recently, the Dubai Digital Government released its standards, which demand that artificial intelligence systems be held legally responsible but holding artificial intelligence (AI) systems accountable without granting them legal personality is a legal flaw, As the concept of legal personality is as forms the basis for attributing rights, responsibilities, and accountability to individuals, entities, and organizations. So based on this, this paper examines the discussions, and proposals, related to the legal status of robots and AI systems in various industrial countries, for instance giving them a legal personality similar to legal Personality for Companies, or legal Capacity for Minors. whether UAE law can provide legal personhood to autonomous robots, and whether such an approach is consistent with Islamic jurisprudence, On the basis that Islamic jurisprudence is the official source of legislation in the UAE.

I. Introduction

Indeed, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made significant strides in embracing technology and integrating autonomous robots into various aspects of daily life. The UAE has been proactive in adopting innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, as part of its efforts to advance economic diversification, improve public services, and enhance the overall quality of life. On the government's AI readiness rating, the UAE is placed first in the region and 19th internationally, according to the World Economic Forum [1]. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications presents various legal challenges, and one of the most critical among them is the issue of responsibility. The increased autonomy and decision-making capabilities of AI systems raise complex questions about accountability, liability, and ethical considerations. The balance between holding producers and manufacturers responsible for AI damage and fostering innovation is a complex challenge.
