Artificial intelligence, digital technologies and the future of law

Abstract

Intensive use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies is becoming an integral part of our everyday life. Artificial intelligence algorithms are effectively used to diagnose diseases, help overcome language barriers thanks to automatic translation, make court decisions in cases, analyze the psychological state and consumer needs of social network users and, as a result, affect basic human rights and freedoms. In these examples, the advantages are clear, but there are many ethical and legal problems that can lead to serious negative consequences. It is significant that so far the norms of national and international legislation have regulated relations between individuals, but with the development of artificial intelligence, another plane of interaction appears - "man-machine". Communication takes place between a person and an algorithm without the participation of other people, and it is the algorithm that is authorized to make certain decisions: from a chatbot that will offer the best travel options to a robot that will decide whether to let you cross the border or use a weapon against you or whether to hire you. The purpose of the research is to analyze the specific features of the formation and development of the artificial intelligence, digital technologies and the future of law. The main methods used in the work were: comparative, method of abstraction, deductive method, concretization. The results states that artificial intelligence and digital technologies has not succeeded in surpassing humans in creativity and intellectual abilities. However, it should be remembered that over time it will understand its internal structure and will be capable of self-improvement, so society needs to create certain ethical standards for the development and operation of artificial intelligence technologies. The conclusion is oriented on the fact that, the technological paradigm is changing, management models and social norms are changing, large-scale developments are taking place demographic changes. Therefore, all the mentioned above requires additional analyses.
