Regulation of artificial intelligence technologies: the clash of ethics and law

The purpose of this work is to determine the degree of influence of the ethics of artificial intelligence on legal regulation, as well as to establish the further direction of development of this technology: whether it will be based on regulations or ethical standards. The study’s conclusions showed that there is no unified approach to regulating artificial intelligence technologies in the Russian Federation, which leads to fragmentation of norms and uncertainties in their interpretation and application. It is noted that technological progress and the development of artificial intelligence have influenced both ethics and legislation. The necessity of ethical and legal regulation of this technology is emphasized. The inextricable link between ethics and law in the context of technological progress has been established, as well as the importance of preventing conflicts between them. The key importance is attached to the ethical and normative approach to regulating relations complicated by the use of artificial intelligence. The adoption of a single comprehensive federal law will make it possible to take into account existing ethical principles and solve existing problems related to the creation and application of this technology (both social and legal). Special attention should be paid to the ethical component of artificial intelligence, which requires constant monitoring and adaptation.
