The right to use artificial intelligence technology: new challenges and threats to humans

The beginning of the new millennium is the period of the formation of a single information space, the formation of a global information society, the main factor in the development of which is the use of information. The processes of global informatization have a dual nature: on the one hand, they contribute to the security of the individual, society and the state, and on the other hand, information technologies pose certain threats to it. The article analyzes the possibilities of using artificial intelligence (AI) as a type of information technology (IT). Emphasis is placed on the positive and negative aspects of its impact on human rights. It was found that certain threats to humans arise when using the latest AI technologies. As a result of the analysis of international documents, it was established that the governments of many countries around the world are currently trying to protect users of digital services from its harmful effects, developing their strategies for the development and regulation of AI for this purpose. The emergence of the latest technologies has given rise to a number of new problems in the field of human rights. This is evidenced by a number of international documents on «digital human rights». So, for example, the «Portuguese Charter of Human Rights in the Digital Age», «Lisbon Declaration», «European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles of the Digital Decade» in their provisions, on the one hand, emphasize the rights to use AI technologies, and on the other – on the safety of these technologies for humans. This caused heated discussions among scientists in the context of human information rights: whether AI as a type of information technology can be a safe means for realizing the human right to use it, and whether it can claim the status of a kind of «subject of law» in the future, which is a threat to human rights. The understanding of these problems caused by the development of AI has already become a joint task not only of scientists in the field of law, but also of scientists in the social sciences and humanities, as well as developers of computer programs.

The Limits of Legal and Illegal Video Game Streaming

The paper deals with the boundaries of legal and illegal use of a video game as a complex object when streaming a video game. The author proposes to reconsider the trend towards broad legal protection of copyright holders in the context of a global information and digital society. The article presents an amended doctrine of fair use in order to establish the fact of fair and unfair use of a video game by a streamer, which will allow determining in the stream whether there are grounds for recognizing it as a case of free use, that is, recognizing the stream as fair or unfair. Thus, the use of this modified doctrine will allow the establishment and application of the institute of fair use for video game streaming. The paper also suggests a procedure for resolving disputes between the copyright holder and the streamer.

Agile Transformation through the Performing Management of It and Cyber Security Projects, at the Government Level

Abstract Modern theories of intelligence have developed from the observation that the person, throughout life, is in constant development. In order to be successful, certain conditions must be met. These conditions for achieving success in life depend on the skills that are formed during formal education, or at least should be pursued as goals, beyond the disciplines. In a current information society, the quality of life as well the perspectives of social change and economic development depend on information and its exploitation, especially in the institutional field of managing computer applications for the absorption of European funds, becoming a matter of national importance, with critical values for national security, characterized by the state of economic equilibrium. Scientific knowledge and information are of particular importance in the global information society by: supporting innovation through technology, promoting economic development through the use of emerging technologies, making decisions efficiently and transparently at government level. The implementation and use of intelligent technologies have a decisive role in the development of the degree of digitization of public services through non-refundable funding from European funds and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The reinvention of the government can be transformed into a reality through the digitization and computerization of the public administration, assuming the modernization of the infrastructure through specific sources of funding, such as European funds, ensuring security through advanced cyber protection and defense capabilities against possible vulnerabilities, risks or cyber-attacks. Achieving performance within the public institution requires an increased concern for innovation, creativity and change.

Право, информационное общество, цифровой суверенитет

Introduction. The rapid development of digital technologies has led to significant changes in various spheres of public life. The species classification of the modern world is based on the fact that the era of the information society is coming. Its characteristics were defined in the Okinawa Charter of the Global Information Society. Empirical analysis. The author presents an overview of the strategies for innovative technological development adopted in the Russian Federation under the influence of the development of digital technologies. The relevance of the formation of the concept of digital sovereignty is shown. The researcher conducted a comparative legal study which indicated that digital sovereignty was originally presented in the legal systems of the European Union countries. Foreign approaches to the formation of a new legal order, conditioned by the development of digitalization, are outlined. The article highlights the features of the German concept “Industry 4.0”, the Japanese concept “Society 5.0”, and the Chinese concept “Made in China 2025”. Theoretical analysis. The main trend of digitalization is decentralization, which affects not only the economies of countries, but also the public administration system. Its general consequences are highlighted: the emergence of competition between states (which leads to the expansion of axiology, and not just technology); a change in the concept of public administration in the context of growing horizontal connections (the emergence of the concept of “the state as a platform”); priority of data (in electronic form) as a condition for the economic, political and social development of the state. Results. The acceleration of the technological process has an impact on the socio-political sphere. The law does not have time to react to changes; the formed reality itself dictates those rules that are formed outside of political instruments. This also leads to the transformation of traditional state institutions, which forces us to rethink the very understanding of the modern state.

MODERN METHODS OF DIGITALIZATIONOF ENTERPRISE ACTIVITIES

The pace and scale of digitalization of modern global information society opens up new business opportunities. At the same time, they pose new challenges for business owners and managers. Increasing digitalization has enabled various new forms of enterprise operation, but it has also forced companies to reflect on their current strategy early on. Given this fact, the aim of the study is to present the impact of digitalization on enterprise activities by stimulating the use of online sales through electronic distribution channels, social networks and mobile applications. To confirm this impact, the authors propose a comparative system for assessing the parameters of digitalization impact on the activities of an enterprise. On the basis of the developed «tree of goals», the dynamics of digitalization of services is projected and prospects for the development of this field of activity are outlined. To test the proposed methodology, a railway passenger transportation company (OJSC Russian Railways) was chosen as the object of study. Research methods used in the study include: 1) statistical; 2) SWOT analysis; 3) systematization, comparative and structural-dynamic analysis; 4) expert survey. As a result of identifying the impact of individual elements of digitalization on the level of activity, a number of recommendations are proposed for the development of digitalization of services for the sale of electronic tickets and their accounting for railway passenger transportation enterprises. Given the relevance of the topic under study, the structure is understood as a solid basis for further discussion and future research. Growth strategies for companies are identified and described, as well as the assets and capabilities required for successful digital transformation. A research program is proposed to stimulate the activities of enterprises in the field of digitalization.

Conceptualization of system management of e-commerce enterprises

The modern information stage of business development is characterized by digitalization of all processes, primarily commodity and money exchange. This reinforces the trend of dynamic growth in the number of electronic commerce (EC) enterprises, which is naturally accom­panied by an increase in the volume of turnover, intensifying market competition between manu­facturers, sup­pliers and sellers, expansion and improvement of product offers, implement­tation of artificial intelligence technologies in these processes. There is an objective need for a flexible and adaptive response of the corporate management of EC enterprises to permanent market changes in order to strengthen their own competitive advantages, as well as to develop a theoretical model of effective system manage­ment of an enterprise operating in such conditions. Such a model should be based on fundamentally new approaches to the system management of EC enterprises. Ukraine’s par­tici­pation in the formation of the global information society requires the development of the domestic EC segment, which involves the improvement of business processes in produc­tion and trade, the expansion of sales channels, the transformation of the labor market and the human capital mana­gement system. Such a necessity is intensified against the background of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Despite the economic crisis caused by the war, the improve­ment of management approaches by EC enterprises should increase the efficiency of their business processes and lead to an increase in the competitiveness of the domestic economy. The aim of the article is to develop the conceptual foundations of system management of e-commerce enterprises. Based on the methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, the essence of e-commerce, e-commerce enterprise is determined and the classic McKensey 7S mo­del is developed in the case of system manage­ment of an e-commerce enterprise. Internal and external determinants of system management of EC enterprises are highlighted. The develop­ment of the classic McKensey 7S model and the analysis of the system management determinants of EC enterprises made it possible to concept­tualize it and reveal the need for a scientific rethinking of management approa­ches at the level of domestic enterprises. This will contri­bute to the leveling of barriers to the effective introduction of new management approaches into management practice.

Justifying the paradoxes of modernity: On the emergence of contemporary cynical discourses

Late modern existence is built around ambivalences: subjects experience the structural paradoxes of global capitalism or information society as social suffering; yet they follow behaviour patterns reinforcing the unsustainable trajectories. The article explores the discourses justifying such structural paradoxes, while normalizing the related suffering. First, the pragmatic theory of justification (Boltanski, Thévenot) is reinterpreted from a modernization theoretical perspective: a distinction is drawn between traditional, classic and late modern ‘tests’, ‘critique’ and ‘cités’. In the second and third sections, the gradual emptying of critique is analysed: as disillusionment reaches the sphere of subjective experiences, not even personal suffering can ground critique any more (Berlant), thus the impossibility of critique is demonstrated in a cynical manner (Sloterdijk). In the fourth section, the various cynical modalities of justification fitting the ambivalent contemporary existence are overviewed. Finally, a way out from the naturalized, quotidian cynicism is sketched: by turning cynicism’s logic against itself, the dialectics of justification can move forward.

Fighting against violations of the right to privacy in the virtual space: ensuring the security of personal data

In the article, the legal regulations on the fight against violations of the right to privacy in the virtual space and ensuring the security of personal data were studied. The formation of the global information society, the transformation of the Internet into an integral part of social life was observed with the increase of people’s activity in the virtual space. On the one hand, it is characterized by positive aspects. Because in the virtual space, any person can easily meet the needs of daily life by using the opportunities provided as a user. For example, online shopping, online communication, searching for desired information in virtual space, etc. But on the other hand, the borderless nature of the virtual space, the use of anonymity (for example, through a fake profile) makes it difficult to detect and prevent violations committed in this space. In general, this raises the issue of protecting human rights and freedoms in the digital age, and among these rights and freedoms, the right to privacy has a special weight. Because people who use the virtual space provide their personal information to various platforms, or during communication, their personal life information remains in the virtual space, so that such information can later be used by criminals for illegal purposes. Therefore, protecting the security, confidentiality and completeness of information about personal and family life in the modern era is one of the most important tasks facing the world community. The author provided information about the most common types of violations of the right to personal integrity in the virtual space, and presented his suggestions on measures to combat them. In addition, the article analyzes the differences between the Anglo-Saxon and the European practice of personal data protection and draws conclusions about more successful practices.

An improved method of detecting false information

Under the conditions of the rapid development of the global information society, the widespread use of information and communication technologies in all spheres of life, the problem of information security acquires special importance. Technology, a double-edged sword in this battle, also has the potential to solve the problem. Fact-checking algorithms, while imperfect, can act as sentinels by flagging suspicious content. Transparency and collaboration between platforms, researchers and independent fact-checkers are critical to improving these tools and ensuring responsible use. However, technology alone cannot win this war. The battlefield goes beyond algorithms and code, reaching into the very fabric of our societies. Current methods of detecting false information take into account only the content of the data source, that is, the data itself, without paying attention to the context of the data. Taking into account that data is becoming more complex, it is becoming more and more, it becomes important to develop and improve algorithms and methods for detecting false information, taking into account the modern features of information dissemination. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to develop an improved method of detecting false information based on the synergy of the proposed additional methods. The improvement of the method consists in the synergy of the five components. Each of which has the ability to detect false information with some probability. It is the synergy and combinatorics of these methods that improve the overall method and detect false information with greater efficiency than existing methods.

THE PROBLEM OF MEDIA EDUCATION AND MEDIA LITERACY AS AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT OF THE PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE TEACHERS

The article substantiates the theoretical principles of media education and the formation of media literacy of future teachers in the context of their professional and creative development and readiness for media education activities. The theoretical and methodological aspects of media education and media literacy are highlighted and the conceptual principles of training future teachers for the organization of media education of students are outlined. The peculiarities of training future teachers for the formation of media literacy of schoolchildren are characterized.
 It is noted that in modern conditions, all media influence the educational process as a whole, the formation of public opinion and views, the behavior of an individual and his consciousness, the reaction to relevant information, etc. The media is gradually becoming a source not only of new information, but also of examples of social behavior, examples of interpersonal communication, etc. It is emphasized that media education is a key component of the country's information security, one of the important factors in the formation of a sense of patriotism, national consciousness, historical memory, etc. Emphasis is placed on the need to find new ways, content, and scientific and methodological support for teacher training for the organization of media education of students in the conditions of a globalized information society. It is noted: what Ukraine will be like tomorrow depends largely on the modern level of professional training of future future teachers and their readiness to organize media education of students using modern educational technologies based on a person-oriented approach in a pedagogically comfortable educational environment that will promote intellectual development and self-development personalities of the future media literate teacher. Professional and creative self-realization of a media-educated personality of a teacher is an important indicator of her life activity and success in the professional sphere.

The impact of digitalization on the value priorities of the human rights development

The article is devoted to the influence of the information society on human rights. In modern conditions, the stages of the evolution of human information rights, which can be considered as an independent complex of rights, principles, requirements, guarantees and protection mechanisms within the framework of the law enforcement system, have been studied. It was determined that the formation of information rights is influenced by a number of factors, the most important of which is the informatization of public life, which leads to the formation of a global information society. The positive and negative aspects of the introduction of digital transformations into everyday life have been studied.

Theoretical and methodological foundations of information and communication, psychological and hybrid wars

The article formulates the main categories of the theory of information and communication, psychological and hybrid wars. In the context of the formation of a global information society, the information sphere is becoming a virtual theater of war, in which a fierce struggle for control over public consciousness (general, group, individual) is being waged. In these circumstances, it is necessary to take a fresh look at the basic categories and characteristics of the information society, to rethink the concept of information space and time, which are influenced by modern information and communication technologies, virtualization of real space and time, manipulative socio-psychological influences and destructive technologies of information and communication troops.

Conceptual basis of research of strategic development of the aviation industry in the context of global challenges

The conceptual foundations of the strategic development of air transport are defined based on a comprehensive synthesis of modern scientific works, a study of the evolution of the aviation industry, an analysis of trends in the global air transport services market, and a search for the most effective ways of strategic development and optimization of interaction between the two critical subjective components of the industry - airlines and airports, in order to maximize their combined potential and increase the indicators of industry development in the face of global challenges. As a result of a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations of strategic development, a set of paradigms that form the theoretical and methodological basis for the study of strategic development of the air transport industry has been identified and scientifically substantiated. The analysis of methodological foundations allowed us to define a set of paradigms that form the methodological basis for the study of strategic development of the air transport industry: the concept of technogenic society, intellectual culture, the concept of global information society, the concept of globalization and network society; axiological approach. The article substantiates the growing role and importance of air transport in the global world despite the development of other types of communications. After all, air transport, combined with other modes of transport and communication channels, plays a significant role in the development of civilization, influencing demographic, migration, economic, political, scientific, technical, and other processes, and spheres of human activity. The development of aviation has led to the establishment of communications between different parts of the world, different cultures, and local communities, which in turn has become a catalyst for the development of aviation itself. Conclusions are drawn about the insufficient coverage of the socio-economic vector of air transport development in the global environment and the expediency of considering the conceptual issues of air transport industry development in the context of global challenges. Keywords: air transport industry, strategic development, global challenges, methodological principles, theoretical and methodological framework economic factors.

Іnformation and communication wars and information and communication forces

The article analyzes the basic categories of the theory of information and communication wars: theater of information and military operations, information and communication forces, intelligence, counterintelligence, etc. It is proven that in the conditions of the formation of the global information society, the spiritual sphere of society becomes a special theater of military operations, in which there are fierce battles for control over the global social consciousness, the consciousness of nations, social groups and individuals. Modern information and communication technologies, the virtualization of information space and time, the development of manipulative psychotechnologies, the formation of information and communication troops create quite effective opportunities to achieve the goals and objectives of information and hybrid wars.

Information Human Obligations: State and Prospects of Doctrine Interpretation

The world is not standing still, and the development of information technology is giving rise to even more new areas of social relations. It is only logical that new human rights and responsibilities arise. The sphere of information relations is quite new and is rapidly developing. While the international community and national authorities pay a fairly high level of attention to information rights by introducing special regulations, they pay less attention to obligations. This is due to the absence of a single unified act, and therefore, in general, the concept of duty is consistent with law, including in the field of information relations. This is the relevance of the study, which is driven by the rapid development of informational and legal relations and the improvement of the digital space, as well as the strict fulfillment of obligations arising from them. The purpose of this article is to emphasise the urgent need for doctrinal changes in the human rights system caused by the deep informatization of human life, in particular the interrelationships of information rights and human obligations, their prospects, and their significance for the promotion of human rights in the global information society. The results obtained will be useful for further research and will be aimed at improving the regulation of the process of fulfilling duties by participants in informational and legal relations. However, the study of the trajectory of the information progress of humanity and the understanding of information responsibilities, based on their inherent connection with the information rights of a person, can have not only a scientific sense but also a positive contribution to the development of human rights in the information society.

SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL TRAINING COMPONENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION APPLICANTS BY IMPLEMENTING THE DIGITALIZATION OF THE INFORMATION SPACE

The article deals with the problem of forming a competent understanding of students' scientific research work as a component of the training specialists system in the technical field. The main attention is paid on the experience of technical universities in Ukraine in the implementation of various forms of the scientific research work in the educational process. It is proved that the students’ scientific research work has a two-level end-to-end character. The expectations of respondents regarding the implementation of different forms and methods of the scientific research work into the educational process are described. The self-evaluation of bachelors was based on the personal experience of students participating in various types of scientific activities. The historical experience of introducing forms and methods of student scientific research work based on the use of archival statistical materials is investigated. It is emphasized that the new conditions that have arisen with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale war started by the russian federation have made certain changes to the conduct of scientific activities with students. It is necessary to revise approaches to its organization in order to integrate into the globalized information society.

THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS ON THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN IT EDUCATION

This manuscript explores the heightened importance of information, information technology, and computer modeling in the training of engineering bachelor's degree students in the context of a rapidly developing global information society. It discusses the creation of an intellectually rich information and professional environment in higher education institutions, aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of modeling, optimization, and design tasks. These tasks are vital for the professional advancement of students in an increasingly informatized world. Addressing the gap between current teaching practices in computer-mathematical modeling and the growing utilization of CALS-based information technologies, the study introduces an information-subject environment (ISE). This environment is designed to enhance the students' informational and constructive competencies by integrating various components, including general technical disciplines, database structures, optimization methods, and the construction of information models. The manuscript also highlights the significance of situational technological processes in manufacturing, where multiple input parameters are considered, requiring sophisticated methods of mathematical statistics and experimental design. Concluding, the manuscript emphasizes the necessity of developing new teaching technologies and engaging students in project-research activities, ultimately aiming to bolster their professional competencies in line with the demands of the global information society.
