On the Discussion Regarding the Legal Conceptual Framework in the Field of Artificial Intelligence

The research is devoted to the topical issue of the formation of the legal conceptual framework in connection with the regulation of public relations in the field of development and implementation of artificial intelligence. The research uses general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, description, as well as formal logical and comparative legal methods on the basis of system approach. The research addresses existing legal approaches to the definition of artificial intelligence as a generic concept in the relevant subject area that are enshrined in strategic planning documents, Russian and foreign legislation, technical regulation documents and scientific sources. On the basis of the presented research, the authors substantiate the advisability of understanding artificial intelligence as a type of information system with certain characteristics. The authors have found that the autonomy of the system, collection and assessment of digital data, self-learning and other characteristics of artificial intelligence are secondary, but at the same time they are also significant for legal regulation. The research has made it possible to draw conclusions about the advisability of forming an ordered system of legal norms-definitions in the area under consideration worldwide and in Russia.
