Prospects for developing the legal regulation of digital platforms

Abstract

The study considers the prospects for the legal regulation of public and private digital platforms. Digital platforms have replaced linear businesses and changed economic principles. The transition to digital technologies in the economy, business, and society substantiates the need for their legal regulation. The study aims at considering the legal status of public and private digital platforms, developing a new conceptual framework, determining the key features of digital platforms, and analyzing the prospects for developing legal regulation in this area. The paper compared management contexts in the public and commercial sectors. With the help of the generalization method, criteria for a new classification of digital platforms were proposed. The article used such methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction. The study represents a new definition of digital platforms, classifies them, and concludes that the introduction of special regulation of public and private digital platforms might require preliminary approbation, for example, in the form of an experimental legal regime. To ensure the comprehensive regulation of the activities of digital platforms, it is necessary to adopt international concepts that would allow creating uniform terms and principles. At the same time, regulation should consider the specifics of the existing regulation. On the one hand, it will be based on the dispositive method; on the other hand, it will be built over the imperative method.

The impact of artificial intelligence on the development of modern society

“…According to the majority of informants, AI at this stage of development is solely a support function for professional, daily living, educational and creative tasks [18,19]. It cannot replace humans, but it is already transforming the usual perception of life around the world.…”

Social assessments of the safety of educational institutions in youth in the context of gender and material security

“…Statistical analysis revealed the links between the distribution of answers to the awareness questions and the gender and financial status of respondents [28; 29]. All this is becoming particularly relevant in the age of digital technologies [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Estimates of youth awareness in the responses of young men were shifted in favor of choosing answers with the options "very good" and "generally good", while girls more often chose the options "not good enough" and "very bad" (χ2=12.916 at p<0.012).…”

The impact of digital platforms on traditional market structures

“…This lag is exacerbated by the need for regula tors to possess a deep understanding of the technologies but also the foresight to anticipate future developments and their potential implications. The challenge is, there fore, not only to address current issues but also to create flexible, forwardlooking regulatory frameworks that can adapt to ongoing technological evolution without stifling innovation [28].…”
