Dr. Pablo Ruiz Osuna has published the monograph “The legal personality of intelligent automata” in the Aranzadi publishing house, the result of his doctoral thesis. The work deals with what is possibly the great invention of this century: intelligent automata. The research seeks to determine their legal nature (what are they?) and proposes a basic private legal regime for them, as new citizens and agents in legal-economic traffic.
