Abstract

The article is devoted to the comparative legal analysis of ethic-legal questions of use of artificial intelligence in Russia, the European Union and the USA. The paper notes a deep and ambiguous discussion among scientists regarding the understanding and use of artificial intelligence as equal to a person. Thus, the EU adheres to a cautious approach to the legal regulation of robotics taking into account all risks and placing full responsibility for the compensation of damage caused by artificial intelligence on the person who created (programmed) and controlled the robot. In the Russian Federation, in the absence of a basic law, a draft Grishin law was proposed, which could have been the most courageous in the world practice. There is also no unified legal regulation of artificial intelligence in the United States, although some states regulate the use of robots, including unmanned vehicles in road traffic.
