New Challenges of International Legal Regime and Use of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is increasingly entering our life in all its spheres. AI-based technologies are used everywhere: in medicine, entertainment, and government services. A lot of multinational corporations build part of their inside processes on the neural networks. Increasingly, one can come across arguments that artificial intelligence will gradually (and already can) replace human workers. On the other hand, international organizations, in particular the United Nations, represented by the Secretary General, talk about the need for a balanced and rational, but still development and creation of such technologies, since they can be used for the benefit of humanity. Artificial intelligence technologies can be used, among other things, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. In this article, the authors analyze such an application of technologies built using artificial intelligence, review the current state of the international legal regulation of such technologies (their creation and application), and assess the existing risks and threats that accompany these technologies. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
