Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly significant factor in social and economic life. As it is capable of performing a large portion of tasks as well as or even better and faster than humans, its use is becoming widespread, ranging from simple tasks in manufacturing plants to participating in online conclusion of contract and even in diagnostics and surgical procedures in medicine. Although it represents a huge potential for progress and development in society and the improvement of quality of life of an individual, it also brings significant risks. The question of the legal personhood of artificial intelligence was raised long before it became such a significant factor in legal transactions. However, in the last decade, it has become particularly relevant. Despite this, there is disagreement in the doctrine, both in terms of terminology and regarding whether artificial intelligence should be recognized as a legal subject or not. The paper presents various arguments on which authors advocating for the recognition of legal personhood of AI have based their stance, as well as reasons on which other authors base their skepticism towards expanding the circle of legal subjects in favor of artificial intelligence. At the end of the paper, based on the analysis of the presented views and arguments, the authors take a stance on whether and under what conditions legal personhood should be recognized to artificial intelligence.

This paper will present the latest research from the current field of mass application of artificial intelligence and Industry 4.0, through the prism of the impact on digital transformation and digital competencies of key users in business. Based on the research of representative foreign and domestic scientific literature, the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and defined digital competence necessary for the age of the information society will evolve. The paper will present concrete cases of the effects of artificial intelligence on application in business through the impact on certain areas of life and work with examples from neighboring countries. This research study defines the concept, highlights the evolution and development of artificial intelligence, digitization process, and digital transformation, through an overview of their key technologies that identifies the role of artificial intelligence as the backbone of digital transformation, explores the trends of the digitization process, highlights key challenges and explores its applications in business and industry 4.0 in European countries with the identification of the impact on everyday life, and the evolution of current trends and challenges.

The hospitality industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by technological advancements, leading to the emergence of digital hospitality. This paper addresses the drivers, challenges and opportunities associated with the digitization of hospitality services, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders. Through an exploration of case studies, industry trends and theoretical frameworks, this paper reveals the transformative power of digital hospitality and its implications for the future of the industry. The findings reveal that the adoption of technological innovations such as virtual reality, contactless technology and artificial intelligence are reshaping the way hospitality services are delivered and experienced. Industry leaders are using these technologies to improve customer experience, optimize operations and drive sustainability initiatives. Moreover, the paper highlights the importance of tailored strategies and interventions aimed at reducing waste, improving efficiency and meeting the growing demands of consumers in the digital era. Also, the paper emphasizes the need for companies in the hospitality sector to embrace digitization and adapt to the changing landscape. By embracing technological advances and implementing innovative solutions, organizations can position themselves for success in a digitally driven world, ultimately increasingcompetitiveness and customer satisfaction in the evolving hospitality industry.

Artificial intelligence, as the latest technology of the modern age, represents a set of algorithms, i.e. software tools that, when applied to certain hardware, enable various devices to become "smart", meaning, to be capable to perform many tasks autonomously without constant oversight by man. In modern armed conflicts, artificial intelligence (AI) is used both in various forms of software tools, which help situational analysis and faster decision-making, and in the form applied to hardware when they enable faster identification of targets and more precise targeting. This paper presents forms of artificial intelligence that are most commonly used in today's conflicts. Also, particular emphasis is placed on the use of cyber weapons, which represent ever more significant element of modern conflicts. However, the risks that occur when using AI are also stressed. Although its use reduces certain traditionally recognized risks, new risks emerge resulting from the use of these powerful tools for the purposes of conflicts. The conclusion is that this new technology enables us, as a society, more "humane" conflicts, with fewer victims and less damage, and yet, the use of that technology still depends on people and their reasons for conflicts.
