Abstract
The paper looks at the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, focusing upon the invaluable contribution of the platform technologies and artificial intelligence to the fight against this suddenly impending threat. Applying analytical techniques, we focus on some Asian countries (i.e. Singapore, China), Russia and the USA. The results demonstrate that rapid processing of large amounts of data, standardization protocols and quick analysis within a tight deadline cannot be overestimated. However, lack of the appropriate legal regulation significantly limits the functionality of platform solutions. We live in a modern legal state, where human rights arerecognized as the highest value, so implementation of new technologies, regardless of their efficiency and practical value, should not infringe the rights of citizens, but meet the requirements of the law. The article tackles the problem of global COVID-19 pandemic by focusing on the international experience in the use of artificial intelligence and arising legal issues associated with human rights and information privacy laws. This will help to determine the vector of the legislation development globally among the continents and in the Russian Federation specifically.

The paper looks at the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, focusing upon the invaluable contribution of the platform technologies and artificial intelligence to the fight against this suddenly impending threat
During the coronavirus pandemic the Chinese government introduced a monitoring system Health Check which was available for platforms popular in China, namely Alipay and WeChat
That the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic is over, the analysis shows that the most effective measures against the spread of the coronavirus infection were taken in countries where governments promptly managed to introduce platform technologies applied to the disease treatment and control of mass gatherings
Summary
Singapore has taken the lead in the digitalization during the pandemic. The mobile app TraceTogether, developed to fight the spread of the infection, made the need for the mass isolation of Singaporeans obsolete. Deeper integration of digital solutions was made possible by the thoroughly developed Singapore legislation system, in the domain of information technology and personal data protection. That the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic is over, the analysis shows that the most effective measures against the spread of the coronavirus infection were taken in countries where governments promptly managed to introduce platform technologies applied to the disease treatment and control of mass gatherings. The best results can be traced in countries that, by the start of the pandemic, had already developed a thorough and systemic legislation regulating platforms and technologies of artificial intelligence. In most areas elaborate laws significantly facilitate the functional efficiency of digital technologies implementation. Those domains which are normally too complicated for digitalization — judicial protection, medicine, etc. Among recent examples are countries, mentioned earlier in this article — Singapore, China, and Israel
