The article examines the main challenges, faced by scientists and lawmakers in development of a regulatory framework for such technologies. The article reflects on the analysis of basic approaches, principles and concepts of regulation of AI technologies. The analysis revealed that the development and application of AI has raised many controversial legal and ethical issues, as well as complex institutions of law and legislation, and possibly even new branches of law.
Today, there is a lot of controversy among scientists in definition of a unified approach to the concept of "artificial intelligence". And this, in turn, affects the development of the legal framework, what requires a coordinated approach of specialists from different fields of research: technical, legal, ethical, etc. Also important and open to discussion is the ethical side of using such technologies. As it is seen, the concept of respect for human dignity has a high chance of being the basis for the legal regulation of AI. Because, even with differing views on the definition of AI, the goal of protecting human rights and ensuring their fundamental freedoms must remain paramount.
Important is the fact, that the immediate subject of research is technology, which is characterized by unprecedented speed and scale of development and change. This threatens the emergence of a significant number of risks and challenges to human rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, due to new advances in AI development. Scientists point out that one of the main challenges is to increase the gap between the rapid level of development of AI technologies and their implementation in society on the one hand, and the lack or obsolescence of research and legislation.
Another controversial issue addressed in the article is the uncertainty of the development of these technologies, which requires close cooperation of legal scholars with specialists involved in the development of AI systems to anticipate possible human rights violations that such technology may cause, as well as anticipation of the level and types of responsibility for the actions of AI systems.
