This research investigates the persistent tension between state sovereignty and the evolving legal subjectivity of artificial intelligence. As autonomous technologies challenge traditional jurisprudential frameworks, the current reliance on human-centric models proves increasingly inadequate for modern governance. The study employs a rigorous doctrinal analysis to evaluate how international legal standards can accommodate graduated subjectivity for digital entities. By synthesizing recent scholarly debates and policy initiatives, the research identifies a systemic need for a more predictable and evidence-based threshold for liability. Findings suggest that decoupling legal personhood from human consciousness offers a viable pathway for ensuring accountability in an era of rapid digital innovation. The analysis provides a clear framework for policymakers to modernize international regulations while preserving fundamental human rights. This work addresses the critical legal gap between static, outdated traditions and the dynamic, innovative landscape of global technology, proposing a stable foundation for a secure and technologically balanced future.
