Approaches of international organizations to the regulation of artificial intelligence

The technology of artificial intelligence is a progressive and groundbreaking technology. The issues of regulating the use of artificial intelligence are actively researched by foreign and domestic scientists. At the same time, the questions of regulating artificial intelligence at the international level have remained insufficiently studied to date. In this article, the author analyzes the approaches of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United Nations, the World Bank Group, and the Commonwealth of Independent States regarding the regulation of artificial intelligence. The main documents developed by these international organizations in the field of regulating artificial intelligence are analyzed. The conducted analysis of the approaches of international organizations to the regulation of artificial intelligence revealed that general terminological approaches to understanding the technology of artificial intelligence and systems based on artificial intelligence are being developed at the international level. The research employed general scientific methods (dialectical method of scientific cognition, systemic method, methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, induction, deduction, observation, explanation, interpretation, and classification, description of concepts and terms) and specific legal methods (in particular, formal-legal and comparative-legal). It was established that alongside the establishment of terminological foundations, international organizations are developing legal and ethical principles of regulation. Along with legal regulatory principles in the field of artificial intelligence usage, ethical regulation developed at the national level, taking into account general principles formulated at the international level, is of great significance. Maintaining an optimal balance between public and private interests is a fundamental task in creating optimal legal regulation of artificial intelligence technology at both the international and national levels. It should be noted, however, that the issue of allocating responsibility in the use of artificial intelligence technology has still not received sufficient attention at the international level. It is proposed to create a common approach at the international level regarding the regulation of obligations in the use of artificial intelligence and the resultant liability for breaches of the established obligations, with defined limits of liability distribution among those involved in the functioning of artificial intelligence technology.
