Artificial Intelligence as a Participant in Modern Legal Relations

Abstract

The practice of legal regulation is currently carried out in an environment determined by new technologies. The use of artificial intelligence in various spheres of life and the rapid technological development of society requires an understanding of the role of artificial intelligence in regulating human relations and an assessment of the need to determine its legal status. Science is faced with a new paradigm and jurisprudence is on the verge of a scientific revolution, since new technologies do not fi t into the pre-existing tenets of legal science. At present, the unification of the natural sciences and the humanities can be carried out on the basis of the principles of global evolutionism, which are immanently included in the objective study of self-developing objects. Associating the development of these objects with the problems of the place of man, taking into account the involvement of man in the functioning of the vast majority of developing systems mastered by human activity brings new scientific knowledge and a new humanistic meaning. The article attempts to define the concept of “artificial intelligence”, its essence, and identify its features in a legal context; the possibilities for the participation of artificial intelligence in legal relations (primarily related to intellectual law) have been identified. The results of the analysis of the decisions of the courts of case law countries on conflicts in the field of intellectual law using artificial intelligence are presented. In the article, based on comparativism, using epistemological constructivism and an activity approach, organically connected with the vision of the world as intercomplex self-developing systems, it is assumed to turn artificial condition of objective knowledge into a natural one. A number of observations on the interpretation of legal texts by law enforcement officials is offered.
