This master thesis examines the challenge of artificial intelligence in the field of human rights protection and the ability regulate the status of robots. The paper analyses various issues, i.e. the concept of artificial intelligence, the principles of its operation, the types of artificial intelligence and robots, its legal status, the liability for damages caused by artificial intelligence, and the effect of artificial intelligence on the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. The rapid technological development, insufficient legal regulation of this area and the European Parliament's Report with Recommendations to the Commission on Civil Law Rules on Robotics of 27 January 2017 has led to the relevance of this work. As it was mentioned before, this paper deals with various issue, however, the attention is focused on three followings aspects. First, the granting legal status to artificial intelligence. This kind of decision is related to the issue of compensation of the damage, since at the moment, it is possible to trace to human factor who had caused the damage, however, with the emergence of autonomous artificial intelligence (one who has exceptional abilities: thinks, understands, makes decisions, etc.), such regulation will no longer be effective and the subjectivity of artificial intelligence would lead to the emergence of the new person, i.e. "electronic person", who could be responsible for its actions or omissions. Second, the liability for damages caused by artificial intelligence. This issue is particularly significant, as it is not yet clear how the liability should be applied, the focus will be on the analysis of strict civil liability. The last aspect to be analysed is the protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals due to the effects of artificial intelligence, i.e. the rights which could mostly be violated because of the impact of artificial intelligence are going to be discussed, i.e. the right of the protection of personal data, privacy, dignity, property rights, the right to a fair trial, freedom of expression and the prohibition of discrimination.
