The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Formation of Platform Law and its Evolution towards the Concept of Ecosystem Law

Digitalization is, perhaps, a distinct marker of our time, embodying modern values and vectors of development of economic and social processes in societies and states. However, the modern scientific and technological revolution, which significantly changes the architecture and functionality of the platform law that is being formed before our eyes, invariably entails the evolution of legal concepts that improve the regulation of innovations that appear in connection with its development. The popularity and a kind of indispensability of artificial intelligence technologies in everyday life naturally requires a legal assessment of the use of smart technologies and the creation of the necessary legal conditions for effective interaction of society with network law, platform solutions and ecosystems. The paper analyzes the impact of the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into modern digital platforms from the point of view of the transformation of the needs for legal regulation and the evolution of platform law as an important legal regulator of the development of digital ecosystems for various purposes, which gives grounds to put forward the concept of the beginning of the process of formation of ecosystem law. The authors draw attention to the fact that platform law competes with the law of the state and leads to the improvement of AI, which threatens the very existence of a person. As a result, there is a need to limit AI in the interests of ensuring human security, which is possible only within the framework of a new, «environmentally friendly» human system, i.e., an ecosystem functioning in the interests of man and humanity. In turn, such a system cannot exist without a new ecosystem law, the development of which legal science can and should predict.
