Влияние на российское уголовное право эволюции отдельных направлений инновационной деятельности (на примере развития биотехнологий)

Abstract

The paper attempts to analyze the effect that various directions and types of innovative activity have on law. Changes in social relations in recent years, as is commonly thought, are associated with the devel-opment of technologies, robotics, artificial intelli-gence, digitalization, genetic engineering, etc. Tak-ing for granted and sometimes superficially study-ing these trends, the legislator fixes and details such concepts in the legislation. At the same time, no analysis has been carried out and no answers have been given to the questions: how are the indicated terms and directions for changing social relations related to each other, is there something in common that allows them to be combined into a more sys-temic component? According to the author, the domestic legislator in the current Criminal Code does not take into account the recent trends result-ing from innovative activities, namely the develop-ment of telemedicine technologies and the possibil-ity of selling medicines via the Internet, when differ-entiating responsibilities. It seems that all the indi-cated changes and innovations in social relations are associated with one process, namely, innovative development. Moreover, digitalization, informatiza-tion, the development of biotechnology, robotics, etc. are components of one more general and uni-fied process, namely the development of innovation. The author investigated these changes using the example of criminal law and in relation to such a direction of innovative activity as the development of biotechnology.
