Methodological approach. The method of legal forecasting plays a key role, achieving the main goal of the study. General academic methods, as well as elements of legal comparative method, legal historical method and the legal interpretation method also serve as instrumentation of the research. Results and conclusions. The article reveals the features of the modern formal and theoretical legal base on artificial intelligence, gives a forecast for the development of its regulation, and proposes the concept of a universal international treaty on artificial intelligence. The need is postulated to formalize norms and principles governing development, production and operation of artificial intelligence, as well as subjectification of artificial intelligence systems in heterogeneous legal statuses.
