Штучний інтелект як нова реальність та його потенційний вплив на конституційно-правове регулювання в Україні

It is indicated that the rapid development of AI calls into question the effectiveness of existing constitutional and legal mechanisms for protecting human rights and the fundamental principles of democracy, which was partially explored in the author’s previous works, in particular, regarding the constitutional and legal status of strategic acts and the implementation of the constitutional right to access public information. The article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on constitutional and legal regulation in Ukraine, which is one of the key issues in light of modern technological development. AI, as a new reality, not only creates significant opportunities for the national legal system but also poses challenges that require a revision of existing legal norms. Based on a thorough analysis of constitutional principles and human rights enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine, the article explores the interaction of AI with rights such as privacy, freedom of speech, property, and labor. Particular attention is paid to analyzing amendments that could be made to Articles 3, 8, 22, 28, 31, 32, 34, 41, and 43 of the Constitution of Ukraine to address the challenges of AI. The article also discusses the ethical and social aspects of AI use, particularly the need to ensure transparency, accountability, and non-discrimination in processes involving this technology. Possible consequences of inadequate AI regulation are analyzed, including risks of discrimination, privacy violations, and the weakening of democratic institutions. It is noted that timely and comprehensive legal regulation of AI’s impact will contribute to the creation of a balanced system of interaction between humans and technology. Based on the conducted analysis, practical recommendations are proposed for improving constitutional and legal regulation in light of AI challenges and for developing an effective strategy for regulating this field in Ukraine. Special attention is given to the importance of the rule of law, the protection of human rights, and the fundamental principles of democracy in the context of digital transformation. Thus, the article provides a comprehensive vision of AI implementation in Ukraine’s legal system, promoting the harmonization of national legislation with international standards and contemporary challenges.
