Ontology of Artificial Intelligence: On the Question of the Dehumanization of Social Regulators

Abstract

Objective: the purpose of this chapter is to analyze ontological approaches to the study of artificial intelligence. Legal ontology of this issue is mandatory for the implementation of the national program of development of artificial intelligence, its legal regulation in order to define artificial intelligence as quasi-objects of law, and robots and objects of robotics—as objects of legal relations. Design/methodology/approach: the article considers approaches to determining the essential features of artificial intelligence, its fundamental differences from other robots and objects of robotics, which is necessary for the most effective implementation of the provisions of the National strategy for the development of artificial intelligence until 2030. The methodology of the Chapter consists in the use of methods of interpretation of legal documents and formal and logical tools not only in the system, but also in the comparative legal analysis of existing strategic and regulatory legal acts of foreign States that determine their policy in this area. Conclusions: it is concluded that there is a need for new approaches to determine the place and role of various objects of robotics, neural systems, artificial intelligence in the system of law and the system of legislation and the possibility of defining artificial intelligence as a quasi-object of law. Originality/value: the solution of these tasks, according to the authors, will contribute to strengthening the digital security of the individual, society and the state; creating economic conditions for the development and implementation of modern technologies based on the use of artificial intelligence, robots and robotic objects; stimulating innovative development for the priority development of Russia.KeywordsOntology of lawArtificial intelligenceSubject of lawObject of lawRobotsNeural networksSystem of lawSystem of legislationJEL ClassificationК-19К-39F-52L-51
