Features and prospects of the reform of the Russian legislation in the sphere of digitalization

The purpose of the research in this article is the adaptation of legislation in order to solve legal problems arising from the development and use of digital technologies and their products. The categories of legal personality and protection of digital technologies are considered, as well as the foundations of their legal regulation. The article defines the methods of protecting intellectual property rights in the digital sphere and examines the development of legislation in terms of establishing the responsibility of both developers and users of digital programs. The scenarios for the development of the legal system within the framework of digitalization are considered, based on the positions of experts, which consist in 1) restructuring the traditional legal model, or 2) in introducing fundamental changes to the country's legislation and transforming it into a new legal model. Conclusions. In recent years, there has been a tendency to marginalize the digital sphere of law and emphasize the limited adaptive capabilities of traditional legislation in regulating digital technologies. It is important to develop fundamentally new legal structures of digital technologies, taking into account their legal personality and security, which would take into account the goal of the progressive development of the digital economy and the technical capabilities of individual technologies. Legal problems associated with digitalization can be conditionally divided into two groups of issues: general aspects of the transformation of digital law (the possibility of adapting modern civil and financial legislation to digital transformation) and the legal nature of digital technologies as an object of civil rights, along with issues of introducing digital technologies: Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, drones, robots and similar fields that require detailed scientific analysis and limited applications.
