The Use of Artificial Intelligence as the Basis for Sustainable Human Development: Features of International Legal Regulation

INTRODUCTION. The latest digital technologies play a key role in the development of modern society and the state, contribute to their further progress and improvement. One of the varieties of such technologies is artificial intelligence (hereinafter – AI), which has a significant impact on all aspects of human life. The article examines the problem of international legal regulation of AI, analyzes existing documents and identifies the main problems and challenges facing the world community. Particular attention is paid to the issues of establishing a balance between the expansion of AI capabilities and the risks associated with the transfer of management decisions from human to machine. The objectives of the work are: to analyze existing concepts of AI and international acts regulating the specifics of using this technology, to consider topical issues of improving legal regulation and practice of using AI, to determine the prospects for further development of legal regulation of AI.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The sources of international law of a universal and regional character, scientific works related to the topic under research were analyzed. Formal legal, comparative legal and historical legal methods were used as research methods.

RESEARCH RESULTS. AI is one of the most important and key elements of sustainable human development, the use of which contributes to technological progress and solving global problems. International legal regulation of the use of AI is at the stage of development and formation of new rules, the creation of which must take into account the possible risks and specifics of the use of technology in various fields. International cooperation and exchange of experience in the field of legal regulation of AI is designed to promote the harmonization of approaches and standards in this area, taking into account the principles of sustainable development, environmental safety and protection of personal data of users.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The main conclusions of the research are as follows. AI helps automate many processes, increases work efficiency and improves the quality of life of people and society as a whole. Cooperation between states and international organizations is a key factor in the successful development and application of AI, contributes to the creation of common principles for ensuring security, transparency and maintaining the technological sovereignty of countries. However, at the moment, the international legal regulation of AI is at the initial stage of its development and many countries face problems with the lack of appropriate norms and standards. The consistent development of legal regulation at the international universal and regional levels, the introduction of clear and comprehensive terminology, taking into account the existing experience of individual international organizations will allow us to continue working on the development and improvement of standards in the field of AI, taking into account the interests of all participants in the international community.
