Legal Aspects of the Place and Role of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Achieving the Goals of the Socio-Economic Development of the Russian Federation

Purpose of the study. The article analyzes the legal aspects of the role and place of artificial intelligence in achieving the goals of the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation. This is necessary to identify gaps in the legal regulation and use of artificial intelligence technologies, as well as to determine the main directions for improving Russian legislation in this area. The article proposes a definition of the concept of «artificial intelligence technology», which should be understood as a computer program that operates on the basis of a set of data and commands intended for the functioning of a computer, which has the ability to: solve problems that are considered creative; carry out analytical work for the purposes of error correction and flexible adaptation, which allows simulating human cognitive functions (including self-learning and searching for solutions without a predetermined algorithm) and obtaining results when performing specific tasks that are at least comparable to the results of human intellectual activity. Conclusions. In the course of the study, it was possible to come to the conclusion that the developer should be responsible for the actions of the carrier of artificial intelligence, robots and the object of robotics, if harm or damage was caused to AI due to a failure, software errors, and if the cause of causing harm/damage was the wrong exploitation of the user, then the responsibility should be borne by the user (the entity that receives the profit). In addition, the law should provide grounds for exemption from liability for harm or damage caused by AI. The above problematic issues of legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technologies require significant changes in Russian legislation.
