From the perspective of legal relationship theory,the artificial intelligence should be discussed on the base of the basic theory of civil subjects.The existing subject theory takes the natural person as the core,and subject has two functions,which is right attribution and legal acts.Since the"autonomy"of artificial intelligence is different from human rationality in terms of its production,scope of application,and operation,and artificial intelligence lacks value support as subject of acts,therefore,artificial intelligence is not the subject of acts.Artificial intelligence has the possibility to become the subject of rights,but the benefits are limited while the cost is high,and the existing legal system is sufficient to solve the problem of the responsibility,thus artificial intelligence is not suitable to become the subject of rights.There is no similarity between artificial intelligence and legal person,nor can it become subject of acts by the backdoor of legal person.Therefore,artificial intelligence is not civil subject,but only object of legal relations.
