SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES FOR CONSTRUCTING OPTIMAL MODELS OF LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FIELD OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The development of a legal framework aimed at promoting the use and improvement of artificial intelligence technologies, without any doubt, will only contribute to the creation of uniform rules for regulating public relations related to the use of new technologies. In addition, these processes will also ensure security and development of the economic and social sphere. In connection with this, the team of authors made an attempt to analyze domestic and foreign approaches aimed at building universal models for the first regulation of the designated technologies. In the process of research, the authors note that modern research in the field of artificial intelligence is developing in two main directions: logical and neurocybernetic. In particular, in sources of domestic and foreign literature one can find references to artificial superintelligence, while various definitions of the analyzed technologies are also offered, which, based on a number of criteria, are conventionally divided into different categories. At the same time, one of the pressing issues that requires resolution in modern legal science is the legal status of these technologies. Therefore, Russian and foreign legal scholars have developed a number of approaches to this problem, which are revealed in the process of this research. The research also examined the positions of scientists regarding the existence of so-called hard and soft law. At the same time, the authors, in particular, note that the difference between them lies in the presence of regulators, which are fixed in legislative systems. Analyzing international documents in the field of the analyzed technologies, it becomes obvious to auto frames that soft law is usually applied to them. In this regard, they note that the issues associated with the legal regulation of artificial intelligence technologies raise many questions, which for now can be answered with confidence, guided by the provisions of soft law. In conclusion, it is concluded that in our country every year there is an increasingly acute need to adopt special legislative norms regulating the sphere of new technologies, which are at the stage of active development and are very far from their full perfection. Therefore, it would be logical at present to preferentially use soft law to regulate legal relations arising in the sphere of the analyzed technologies. However, in the future it is necessary to strive to create an integral system of special legal norms and individual legislative acts that would complement the legal framework that establishes the principles of functioning of the technologies under consideration.
