LEGAL AND ETHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS

The article discusses the legal and ethical foundations of the use of artificial intelligence systems in the field of personal data processing, liability for possible harm, as well as the conditions for recognizing artificial intelligence as a subject of law.

Conceptual modeling makes it possible to analyze legal and ethical approaches to artificial intelligence at the intersection of technological autonomy and institutional responsibility. The requirements for transparency and explainability of data processing, fair distribution of responsibility for errors, flexible regulation and ethical codes, as well as for public participation ensuring legitimate and socially sustainable implementation of artificial intelligence are emphasized.
