Private law aspects of the development and use of artificial intelligence technologies: a comparative analysis and recommendations for Russia (in Russian)
The research paper focuses on the analysis of current and potential private-law regulation of the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It provides a comparative analysis of how the following jurisdictions are adapting their legal frameworks to the introduction of AI technologies: the European Union, France, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States of America (including individual states), Israel, the UAE, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, the Republic of Korea, India, and China.
The paper examines the principal approaches to regulating the following AI-related matters: general concepts, principles, and the roles of participants involved in the development and use of AI; liability for damage caused by AI technologies; the legal classification and legal regime of intellectual property created with the assistance of AI technologies; the use of intellectual property for AI training; the use and protection of intangible personal rights in the development and use of AI; and the automation of contractual obligations through AI.
Based on the analysis, recommendations have been developed for establishing an appropriate regulatory framework in the Russian Federation.
