Genomic Research and Artificial Intelligence: Problems of Legal Regulation at the Global and Regional Level

Abstract

The authors examine the trends and features of the development of legal regulation of genomic research in the context of digitalization at the level of global and regional international organizations, including integration associations. The current sources of legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of genomic research in modern international and integration law are analyzed, and the main trends in the development of global and regional regulation are identified. Attention is given to the fact that key international acts adopted both at the global and regional levels, and regulating certain aspects of genomic research, are so-called acts of soft law, which are advisory and constitute a kind of «pre-law». In conclusion, recommendations are presented for improving the relevant legal regulation within the framework of integration associations with the participation of the Russian Federation.
