In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) systems have advanced significantly, becoming capable of simulating human mental reactions. Both substantial advantages and difficult legal issues have arisen as a result. The purpose of this study is to examine pertinent legal opinions and concepts, emphasizing the current legislative gap that underscores the necessity of creating a legal framework that is in line with technological advancements and giving these systems their own legal personality. The methodology is based on a critical evaluation of the many perspectives on the legal recognition of AI as well as a thorough theoretical analysis of legal concepts and principles. According to the study, in order to give AI systems formal legal personality, the ideas of legal accountability and ownership must be drastically revised. Additionally, legal concepts must be updated to reflect technical advancements in order to effectively regulate AI liability. In order to ensure that the legal system keeps up with technological advancements and adopts a forward-looking vision that satisfies social ambitions and protects the rights of all parties, the research emphasizes the significance of stepping up intellectual and legislative efforts. Keywords: virtual personality, legal culpability, legal recognition, legal personality, and artificial intelligence systems
