Abstract

The article examines the specific features of legal regulation of the artificial intelligence domain within the framework of the contemporary information society. The study argues for a human-centered approach to the development of legal mechanisms for governing AI, which must remain consistent with general legal principles and the protection of human rights and freedoms. Special attention is paid to the issues of legal provision and legal intervention in the AI sphere, along with the potential risks associated with the emergence of a digital dictatorship. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity of further academic and normative efforts aimed at regulating the AI domain.
