The article deals with the legal aspects of the use of artificial intelligence technology. The authors note a weak regulatory control of the use of artificial intelligence in Russia, taking into account the active and widespread introduction of this technology in various spheres of life. Developments in the field of artificial intelligence raise very serious ethical and legal issues. Among legal issues, such as the nature of artificial intelligence, the existence of a legal personality, the problem of liability for damage caused by artificial intelligence, the impact on the legal profession, etc., need to be addressed.
