Abstract

This study addressed the extent to which legal legislation aligns with the requirements of artificial intelligence (AI). The study concluded that AI contributes to increasing the efficiency of legal and administrative work, despite the existence of legal gaps due to the weakness of the legal framework regulating AI. The study plan was divided into two main sections. The first section explored the nature of AI, while the second examined the possibility of granting AI legal personality. The study concluded with a recommendation urging the Jordanian legislator to draft legislation that fully recognizes the legal personality of AI, aiming to achieve justice in the application of AI technologies.
