Artificial intelligence in the public administration system of Russia and the European Union: comparative legal analysis. Part I

The study analyzes the features of the use of artificial intelligence in the field of public administration in the Russian Federation and the European Union. At the same time, the focus has shifted to the area of legal regulation of this process. The study presents an analysis of key regulatory legal acts that contain the main provisions for the use of this type of end-to-end digital technologies in the field of public administration. The author emphasizes that the formation of the regulatory framework of Russia and the EU countries began at about the same time and independently of each other. At the same time, the rule-making process in both legal systems has both common features and significant differences. The author offers his own view on the research methods of the indicated problem. The author also highlights the lack of knowledge of the designated topic, both in Russia and abroad, despite the similarity of the challenges that digital transformations bring with them for national security. The study states that there are differences in the field of legal regulation of the use of end-to-end digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, primarily since public authorities interpret them differently. The established rule-making tradition is also considered as an important factor. The author emphasizes the tradition that has taken shape in European countries to give priority attention to the protection of negative freedoms of citizens, which has also left its mark on the specifics of the legislation of the European Union. The study concludes that the Russian approach to rulemaking is characterized by greater attention to the problems of state security. The study suggests considering international experience in the legislative process, despite the divergence in national accents in the emerging global digital law. A special feature of the conducted research is the fact that the study provides a detailed analysis of the provisions of the main documents that regulate the use of artificial intelligence in both legal systems. At the same time, it is noted that in each jurisdiction there is no key law act regulating the use of artificial intelligence in the field of public administration.
