ETHICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN THE LEGAL SPHERE OF UKRAINE

The article is devoted to the analysis of ethical and legal aspects of the use of new technologies in the legal sphere of Ukraine. Based on scientific research, regulatory and legal sources, international experience and practice of the functioning of the digital society, the key challenges facing legal science and law enforcement in the context of the rapid development of technologies are revealed. The main focus of the study is on finding legal mechanisms that can effectively respond to new social realities, while maintaining a balance between innovation and fundamental human rights. The modern technological era is shaping a new legal reality, where classical legal constructs are exposed to unprecedented challenges generated by the development of digital technologies. The focus is on phenomena such as digital human rights, the use of artificial intelligence, the functioning of cryptocurrencies, the right to access the Internet, the processing of large amounts of personal data, and the activities of online platforms. These processes change not only the form but also the content of legal relations, highlighting the need to adapt the legal system of Ukraine to new ethical and legal realities. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive study of the principles of forming legal regulation of new technologies in Ukraine, taking into account international experience, as well as an analysis of the ethical challenges that accompany their introduction into the legal sphere. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of legal approaches to the use of artificial intelligence and mechanisms for protecting personal data in the context of digitalization. A comparative study of Ukrainian and foreign legislation on ensuring information security, privacy, and control over users' digital traces is conducted. The article analyzes individual cases from the legal systems of countries that are leaders in the field of digital governance, in order to identify effective models of legal regulation for technological challenges. It outlines the need to develop specialized ethical standards that would balance the innovative development of human rights and freedoms. The practical significance of the study lies in developing theoretical foundations and practical recommendations for updating the domestic regulatory framework in the field of legal regulation of technologies. The results of the study can be used to further develop regulatory acts that will ensure a balance between technological progress and legal security, promote the socio-economic development of Ukraine, and provide sustainable legal support for the digital transformation of society.
