Modeling approaches to AI integration into public relations in Russia as per comparative research of foreign countries’ experience

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are one of the most significant solutions that can fundamentally change both public relations and the sphere of public legal relations. The goal of the present research is to conduct a comparative analysis of existing approaches to the AI integration into the sphere of public legal relations of foreign countries and Russia, with the subsequent determination of the most effective constructive approaches to the formation of a regulatory policy regarding AI in Russia. This goal is achieved through the study of the following issues: Strategic goal-setting in relation to AI in Russia and other countries; Tactical implementation of AI integration into public legal relations and possible solutions in order to ensure AI decision-making transparency; Model compensatory measures that ensure AI safe integration into public relations in Russia. The object of the study comprises regulatory sources, strategies, and other documents regulating the AI integration into the sphere of public legal relations in Russia and foreign countries, judicial practice examples, and academic publications on the issues under study. The research methodology incorporates a complex of modern philosophical, general scientific, special scientific methods of cognition, including dialectical, systemic, structural-functional, hermeneutic, comparative legal, formal legal (dogmatic), legal modeling methods, and some others. The present research lays special emphasis on the implementation of a comparative legal study of the approaches to and regulation of AI in the public sphere regarding various states experience. The general scientific dialectical method has made it possible to consider the AI position in the legal field from the point of view of the AI regulation variability and trends in the subsequent development thereof, and to substantiate the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to solve the respective issues, as well. Additional emphasis is also laid on addressing the issues of the applied nature of the AI use in the field of public relations in Russia, taking into account the legal modeling and development of compensatory measures within the authorities’ regulatory approaches.
