One of the objectives of the survey was to determine the subjective assessment of the impact of selected factors of a formal and legal nature on the quality of life of persons with limited mobility. T Material and methods he survey shows that among the respondents, there is a group of several percent of people for whom it is difficult or very difficult to meet a number of formal-legal requirements, such as taking advantage of the tax credit for people with disabilities or obtaining support from the social assistance system. Results In this article, the authors present the results of a survey and identify and evaluate existing legal solutions aimed at supporting people with limited mobility. Conclusions It will be necessary to implement the necessary legislation. It is of particular importance to clearly regulate the responsibility for damage caused by an action (a felony) taken by artificial intelligence in the Polish legal system, especially the rules on which it should be based – fault, risk, or fairness. This is important, especially since individual types of responsibility imply different types of punishment and exemption.
