ABOUT PERSPECTIVE DIRECTIONS OF LEGAL REGULATION IN THE SPHERE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Various areas of robotics and artificial intelligence technology are developing rapidly around the world. One of the leaders in this area is the European Union. The European practice of legal regulation of the sphere of artificial intelligence technology can be perceived by the Russian Federation both for the purpose of synchronization of the Russian legislation with the international, and for improvement of positions of the national legislation Absence of the Federal complex law actualizes the raised subject. Objective: to investigate the main legal acts of the EU aimed at the development of robotics and artificial intelligence technology, to identify the negative factors of robotization of society and to propose its own definition of «artificial intelligence technology» as a legal category. Methodological basis: formal-logical and methods of systemic and comparative law. Results: the block of the main legal acts of the EU on strategic directions of development of technologies of artificial intelligence is investigated; negative factors as a consequence of robotization are revealed. Conclusions: the legal mechanisms for resolving the consequences of the use of artificial intelligence technology are determined; the author’s definition of artificial intelligence technology as a computer program or a system of such programs (information system) designed to simulate human intellectual activity is proposed.
