Issues of Legal Liability in Case of Use of Artificial Intelligence in Battle Management

The article analyzes the legal consequences of the use of artificial intelligence in combat control systems that carry out their centralized planning and coordination. The nature and method of compensation for damage caused to non-combatants and property of third parties as a result of decision-making by a robotic complex in an autonomous mode without human participation is being studied. The author makes a comparative analysis of foreign novels on issues of legal liability related to the use of artificial intelligence in combat operations management, in particular, the American approach based on the concept of “collateral damage”. Legislative novelties are proposed designed to adapt the law enforcement sphere to new practices of introducing artificial intelligence into combat control systems.
