ABSTRACT

A global tendency to use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in many areas of our life including critical or vital infrastructure evokes debates about its use for public administration purposes. AI-based systems help to control complex systems in the field of transportation, space, medicine, research, investigation, emergency, etc. Recent studies on artificial neural networks and similar technologies reveal that the humanity is close to creation of a true artificial intelligence comparable with a human mind. Presumably, the use of AI for public administration could have many advantages: improve decision-making and related processes, help to avoid conflict of interests, allow to process huge amounts of data simultaneously, etc. At the same time, the use of AI for public administration from the point of view of the law may pose a number of obstacles. Existing general principles of law are to regulate the behavior of human beings and not machines. Thus, further deployment of AI systems will inevitably lead to the emergence of new legal concepts and regulations. The authors try to suggest and summarize possible legal issues from more general to specific ones concerning the use of AI technologies for public administration. These solutions may help to create an appropriate legal framework for the case.
