Internet of Things (IoT): regulation of the provision of services by robots with artificial intelligence

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical and legal framework for regulating the provision of services and works using the technologies of the Internet of Things with artificial intelligence with and without direct human participation. As a typical example, a goods ordering and delivery system is considered. New categories are proposed – “direct, mediated and hybrid legal relations” for analysing the legal models of goods ordering and delivery system with IoT with artificial intelligence. The features of the legal models of deterministic and robust social management adequately describing IoT systems with artificial intelligence are investigated. The functional analogy of the “behaviour” of systems of IoT with artificial intelligence and traditional subjects of law when performing certain types of activities is shown. A new theoretical construction of the category “legal fiction” is justified on the basis of the proposed term “legal dogma”. The content of legal fiction has been proposed and justified: the system of Internet of Things with artificial intelligence is considered a subject of law, as a “representative” in the understanding of civil legal relations.
