ABSTRACT: The large-scale application of artificial intelligence in social life has brought about new legal issues such as the attribution of rights and the definition of responsibilities. It is necessary to discuss whether artificial intelligence can be used as a legal subject. Taking the legal subject as an autopoietic system means that whether AI can become the legal subject does not depend on itself, nor on the person acting as the legal subject, but on the future autopoietic scenario of the legal subject system. There is possibility that AI becomes legal subject. On the other hand, there remains uncertainty for AI to become legal subject.
