Artificial intelligence in public control: limits of admissibility (legal aspect)

The article delves into the legal aspect of the limits of admissibility of the artificial intelligence use in the implementation of public control. The authors substantiate the role and significance of this socio-legal institution, on the one hand, as an essential condition for the preservation and development of society and the state, and on the other hand - as a key legal guarantee for the realization, protection and defense of both the system of constitutional principles (first of all, people’s power and participation of citizens in the management of state affairs) and the entire system of rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities. The paper examines the legal limits of the permissibility of using artificial intelligence technologies in management, control and supervisory activities using the example of the Institute of public control (legal and other). The article substantiates the position that artificial intelligence technologies in these types of activities can and should be used only with human participation, under human control, and subject to respect for the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities. The main legal problems that subjects of public control will face when using artificial intelligence technologies in the organization and implementation of public control activities are identified and investigated, in particular, concerning the lack of fixing in the civil legislation the limits of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the Russian Federation; weak development in the scientific legal doctrine of the concept and content of these limits; the lack of a technological base for autonomous production in Russia. The authors have developed and substantiated a system of measures to resolve them.
