ETHICAL AND LEGAL PERSPECTIVES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines the prospects for the use of artificial intelligence. It is noted that today there is a tendency towards the difficulty of checking the operation of artificial intelligence systems for compliance with legal norms and existing ethical principles. This is also complicated by the lack of uniform approaches in determining the criteria of ethics in the development and use of artificial intelligence technologies. Accordingly, the article analyzes international legal acts on the law and ethics of artificial intelligence application in comparison with current national norms. The author analyzes the research of foreign scholars, which revealed a number of ethical issues that may arise in the development and application of artificial intelligence software, potentially leading to various legal conflicts and distortion of the moral heritage of mankind. Consequently, it seems appropriate to develop an Ethical Code of Artificial Intelligence Application, which proposes distinguishing between moral principles for creators of artificial intelligence and its users. The article defines the principles on which the Ethical Code of Artificial Intelligence should be based. The author emphasizes that despite the range of positive possibilities of artificial intelligence, the issue of preventing harm to humans and their rights is more important for society. In conjunction with the development of the Ethical Code of Artificial Intelligence Application, certain legal documents should be adopted (e.g., Guidelines for the Development of Artificial Intelligence for each of the specific purposes of use, Guidelines for the Organisation and Application of Artificial Intelligence, etc.). Accordingly, the article provides some provisions on their content.
