Abstract

The research subject is legal provisions and scientific sources reflecting the procedure of using AI technologies in the field of road traffic safety. The research object is social relations defining the fundamentals of the use of AI technologies in the field of road traffic safety.

The research methodology is based on the set of general scientific and specific methods of cognition (formal-legal, analytical, the system method, analysis, synthesis, modeling, comparison, etc.). The author formulates the conclusion that the accentualization of technological, social and legal risks as and when AI technologies are used in the field of road traffic safety, helps to organize the work of public authorities in advance and step-by-step, and to find a wide range of legal instruments helping to eliminate or minimize possible risks, raise the effectiveness of public administration of social relations in the field of road traffic safety, and promote the achievement of strategic socio-economic goals of the state.  The scientific novelty of the research consists in a comprehensive analysis of theoretical legal and organizational aspects, characterizing the risks of using AI in the field of road traffic safety, and an accentualization of particular problems of legal regulation and the prospects of implementation of AI technologies in this field.
