Legal prohibitions and limitations in artificial intelligence research

Introduction: the article discusses the issues of prohibitions and restrictions in artificial intelligence research in specific historical conditions. Attention is drawn to the need to make an optimal legal regime for artificial intelligence research through the usage of a legal model. Materials and Methods: formal-legal, logical, comparative-legal, historical-legal, analytical methods are used. The content of the article is based on research in artificial intelligence. Results: the author analyzes provisions regulating the usage of methods of genetic engineering and export control in artificial intelligence development. Discussion and Conclusions: the interrelation of law, science and morality in the legal model in digitalization of society is substantiated. The author defines the legal model in artificial intelligence research, draws attention to the advantages of usage the legal model in regulation of artificial intelligence research due to the method of abstraction. The author demonstrates the usage of the legal model to describe the essential properties of regulated relations in artificial intelligence, as well as to eliminate unreasonable and archaic prohibitions and restrictions in legal regulation.
