Legal Regulation of the Use of Unmanned Aircraft with Artificial Intelligence in the Context of Preventing Terrorist Threats

Abstract

Relevance: the need to introduce innovative means of identifying and preventing terrorist threats is dictated by the acceleration of the pace of technology development and their adaptation to commit crimes of extremist and terrorist orientation. Unmanned aircrafts are used by terrorist organizations to obtain information about objects on the ground in order to plan attacks, deliver goods and as a direct means of attack. The use of UAs by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is sufficiently regulated by current legislation, however, the issues of equipping UAs with artificial intelligence are only indirectly reflected in regulatory legal acts. Improving the legal regulation of the use of UAs with AI in this context is necessary for the speedy implementation and effective use of these funds by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Problem statement: The use of AI on UAs technology to automate the work of in the context of preventing terrorist threats is limited due to the insufficient development of the regulatory framework governing the use of such technologies.
The purpose of the study: to compile a list of recommendations for improving the legal regulation of the use of UAs with AI in the context of preventing terrorist threats.
Research methods: structural and functional analysis, system analysis, comparative legal analysis.
Results and key conclusions: As a result of the study of the regulatory framework governing the use of UAs and AI technologies in the framework of activities to prevent terrorist threats, key problems were identified and measures were proposed to improve a number of regulatory legal acts.
