The Russian draft bill of “the Grishin Law” in terms of improving the legal regulation of relations in the field of robotics: critical analysis

Abstract

The article presents a critical review of the Russian draft bill of “the Grishin Law” on the regulation of relations in the field of robotics. The subject of the research is the problem of vesting autonomous robots with legal personality characteristics. The theoretical basis of the article is the modern scientific achievements in the field of artificial intelligence and neural networks, the legal debate on the social and legal implications of the use of autonomous robots. The authors analyze the approaches of the bill developers in terms of endowing autonomous robots with the characteristics of a subject of law. The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop a universal international document on the matter of establishing liability for harm caused by autonomous robots and introducing a safety requirement of this technology for a person at the level of technical standards.

Digital ecology: Artificial intelligence impact on legal and environmental sphere

“…The author is surprised that the concept of computational artificial artefacts is created, but law makers internationally have come to a standstill to protect our silicon brainchildren. Thus, lots of researches aim to provide international jurisprudence evidence for importance non-biological intelligence protection (Tyler, 2019). Milan Markovic is sure that the advent of artificial intelligence has provoked considerable speculation about the future of the workforce, including highly educated professionals such as lawyers.…”

“…Undoubtedly, the gradual introduction of the latest technologies in legal proceedings and a smooth transition to the digital era is coming. In this regard, it is necessary to establish limits on the digitalization of the legal system, which should be limited to the improvement of electronic codes, the generation of standard court decisions, the creation of an automated system for monitoring judicial practice and other means that will reduce the burden on the legal system, speed up and improve administration of justice, to overcome the problems of judicial red tape and corruption, to reduce the significant burden on the judicial apparatus (Vasilyev et al, 2019). The benefits of spread the information technologies must combine and balance with the constitutional rights.…”
