Abstract

The author analyzes the issue of approaches to research in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). It is difficult not to assess the growing influence of AI on public life today. We can say that in fact, all spheres of human activity, including international relations. The author notes that at the same time there is a tendency in scientific and legal circles to assess and define AI. In this regard, the author sets the goal of analyzing the main approaches to the definition of “artificial intelligence” in international studies and law. The author comes to the conclusion that the historical retrospective of the study of approaches to the definition of AI since the emergence of the first studies in this area demonstrated several periods in the development of this technology. In each of the periods, the definition of the phenomenon varied, based on the prevailing developments in the field under study at that time. The author also notes that the issue of defining and legally regulating AI is on the agenda of international organizations and is catalyzed in scientific discourse. However, the definitions of international organizations vary and do not lead to order in the interpretation of AI.
