Status of legal regulations of application of artificial intelligence technologies

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of topical issues of using the achievements of world science and technology, in particular the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies in many spheres of public life: medicine, management, defense, justice, art, life and other fields. In particular, attention is paid to the concept of artificial intelligence, legislation that ensures the legal existence of these technologies, comparative analysis of issues related to the existence and use of artificial intelligence in society in the laws of continental and common law; attention is also paid to issues that need to be addressed in the development and improvement of legislation in this area.

The methodological basis of the study was a number of general and special scientific methods, including: dialectical method and formal-logical method, sociological and comparative analysis, as well as the system method, the method of induction, deduction, analysis and synthesis.

Due to the fact that the use of artificial intelligence technologies is becoming more widespread, there is a need for clear legal regulation of a number of issues related to their normal use: authorship, protection of personal data, liability for improper operation of artificial intelligence, legal status of artificial intelligence and others. As the legislation of Ukraine is currently limited in the legal provision of these technologies, instead in each case the rules of civil, commercial, administrative, criminal and labor law are applied – there is an objective need for regulatory definition of the creation, use of artificial intelligence and security technologies, associated with their use. The most developed mechanism for the use of artificial intelligence technologies is presented in the legislation of European countries, and given the course of European integration of our country, it is obvious that EU standards in this area will form the basis of relevant Ukrainian legislation in the future.

As a result of the study, the author concludes that artificial intelligence should be considered as another new technology and legal institution that needs to be regulated by law. Among the issues that need to be regulated, in particular: the legal status of artificial intelligence, copyright in works created by artificial intelligence, protection of personal data related to access, collection and processing of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and the use of artificial intelligence, human rights and discrimination, liability for artificial intelligence, etc.
