Abstract
A rule of law is effective when it adequately reflects objective needs and corresponds to the laws of the development of public relations. However, information technologies are developing faster than the corresponding legislative regulation. Programs equipped with artificial intelligence, once considered science fiction, are being increasingly used in various spheres of life every day. Advanced technologies are designed to significantly facilitate the life of a modern person, allowing him to transfer monotonous and technical tasks to units, i.e. carriers of artificial intelligence. However, the use of AI systems does not always turn out to be absolutely positive and safe – sometimes in practice, due to various factors, damage to property, health and even human life is caused during the operation of the unit. In this regard, legitimate questions arise about legal liability for such consequences, about the suitability of existing legislation to regulate such relations and about the need to improve and specialize legal regulation for new torts. This work is also aimed at participating in this discussion. For the purposes of the article, all negative manifestations of AI are reduced to three situations: causing harm due to flaws in the program or its incorrect operation; using technology by a person to commit an offense; causing harm by an artificial intelligence unit independently and on its own initiative. The paper examines all these cases, offers options for their legal resolution, critically evaluates existing approaches, projects and special legal acts already adopted. The conclusion is made that there is no need for a radical reform of the legal system for artificial intelligence, the theory of its legal personality is denied, it is argued that a person is responsible for all its mistakes – the manufacturer, user, owner, etc. In general, the strategy of the domestic legislator on the development of artificial intelligence is supported, but it is proposed to pay more attention to other ways to improve the security of AI systems (user liability insurance, unified accounting of units, etc.), rather than sanctions against them as "electronic persons".
