Artificial Intelligence and Neurotechnologies: In Need for Constitutional and Legal Regulation

Abstract

Digital technologies are affecting society, and this influence is becoming more and more noticeable. The further development of technologies and their use change the way of life of people, the content of public relations. Of particular importance are "end-to-end" digital technologies, the use of which is possible in various fields. The interaction of these technologies leads to results that include answers to the global challenges of humanity: increasing life expectancy, simplifying various communications, increasing labor productivity, etc. Today, the greatest attention is given to artificial intelligence technologies, the legal regulation of which is already being formed in different countries, including in Russia. The increasing use of artificial intelligence technologies in industry, the service sector and in everyday life requires certain regulation; in addition, the issue of adjusting the ways of developing artificial intelligence with the help of legal norms is raised. Since the norms of constitutional law form the basis of legal matter, the need to create constitutional and legal norms that establish the principles of regulating public relations arising in connection with the use of artificial intelligence in the information society will increase.Neurotechnologies are closely connected with artificial intelligence technologies, it is their combination that can greatly change the future of human civilization, in particular through the creation of hybrid human-machine intelligence. Such prospects cause concern to many researchers, including legal scholars, who suggest ways to solve social problems arising from the development of technologies, among the solutions is the need to resolve a number of issues by constitutional law.The main issues requiring constitutional and legal regulation can be called issues related to the guarantees of human rights that correspond to the conditions of the information society, with the need to consolidate a number of new rights and establish certain prohibitions on the use of artificial intelligence technologies and neurotechnologies.
