The Problems of Integrating Artificial Intelligence into the Judicial System of Russian Federation

Zagotovkin D.F., Rilsky K.

Abstract

Background. The article analyzes the possibilities and limitations of integrating artificial intelligence into the judicial system of the Russian Federation using the example of procedural legislation.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to assess the compatibility of artificial intelligence technologies with the domestic legal system, identify legal conflicts and develop recommendations for adapting legislation.

Methodology. During the research, the method of analysis, formal legal, comparative legal and hermeneutic approaches were used. The study used regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, the EU, Canada, the USA and China, scientific legal research and the legal press.

Results. The main results of the study showed that the current procedural legislation of the Russian Federation is not adapted to the use of artificial intelligence. Experiments with "weak artificial intelligence" in contract manufacturing (Belgorod and Amur regions) have confirmed the need for legislative changes. Key problems were identified: algorithmic bias (using the COMPAS system as an example), lack of legal entity status for artificial intelligence, risks of cyber-attacks, contradiction to the principles of competitiveness, internal persuasion and independence of judges.

Practical implications. Based on the analysis of foreign experience, recommendations are proposed: the consolidation of artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool, the development of standards for the transparency of algorithms, the introduction of a risk-based approach, the training of judges and the creation of specialized legislation. The recommendations can also be used by the legislator when conducting research on the topic of the article. The importance of maintaining a balance between innovation and respect for the fundamental principles of law is emphasized.

Balashova E.S., Sofronova L.V., Stroganov D.A.

Abstract

Background. The article is devoted to the study of the state of regulatory framework for neuropedagogy in the Russian Federation in the context of the digital transformation of education. The relevance of the study is due to the innovative nature of developments in the field of neuropedagogy and neurolaw, as well as the urgent need to improve educational law during the transition of Russian education from the Bologna system to the new Russian multi-stage education system. The study analyzed the regulatory framework for the implementation of currently relevant neuropedagogy tools.

Purpose. The aim of the study is to analyze the regulatory framework for neuropedagogy in modern Russia and identify the main ways to improve it.

Methodology. To achieve the goal, the methods of analysis of normative legal acts, the comparative legal method, the generalization method, the abstraction method and the expert assessment method are used.

Results. The result of the study is the systematization of the regulatory framework for neuropedagogy in modern Russia and the identification of its gaps. The legal foundations of innovative and knowledge-intensive areas of educational development today are diffuse and partly incomplete, leaving opportunities not only for the development of this area of ​​activity, but also for the abuse of innovative technologies to replace the actual learning process, and understanding this is necessary for the further improvement of educational law.

Practical implications. The results of the study can be used in further research in the field of educational law, in the process of improving legislation, and also in the practice of teaching a number of disciplines in the field of higher education pedagogy.

Credit History of Modern Marketplaces

Grezeva K.D., Zaripov S.R.

Abstract

The relevance of the study of credit history and instalments on modern marketplaces such as Wildberries and Ozon is due to the widespread use of online shopping and the increasing demand for beneficial financial services. This paper examines the main aspects of the credit system on online platforms, including the wording used in advertisements and the collection of information by credit institutions as part of bank behavioural surveillance. There is a need to examine the impact of credit history in instalment lending on users of shopping platforms and what their risks are in using such services. The authors have identified a problem, which is incomplete consumer awareness of the consequences of using instalments through a financial platform, in particular, the use by marketplaces of such formulations as «no overpayment» or «instant approval and execution of instalments», omitting the reflection in the credit history, which further affects negatively the creditworthiness of users, and may also contribute to the accrual of interest, commissions and other charges. The main method of the study is analytical review which involves systematic collection of information, its analysis and interpretation from various sources, namely examination of marketplace instalment promotional materials, contractual terms and conditions that mislead consumers, negative user feedback and evaluation of instalment provision. The purpose of the study is to examine and determine the level of public awareness of financial instalment arrangements and their impact on the financial situation, namely the consequences of entering into loan agreements through online platforms. The result of the research is a proposal to solve the problem of negative impact of instalment marketplaces on the credit history, which includes the need to measure financial possibilities, carefully study the terms of the instalment agreement, compare the offers of marketplaces and banks, choosing the most suitable option. It is also necessary to repay instalments on time, avoiding registration for everything in a row, and emphasize expensive and really necessary goods. It is recommended to accumulate funds, close current debts, and improve credit rating before applying for instalments. The key conclusion of the study is the thesis that it is advisable to increase public awareness to make informed financial decisions, as well as to increase the transparency of instalment terms on modern marketplaces.

Loktev A.V.

Abstract

In this article, we consider it necessary to consider problematic aspects of the free use of works in the digital environment. In modern conditions of digitalization, under the pressure of frequent conflicts arising in connection with copyright infringement, a comprehensive analysis of the legal norms and mechanisms governing such use is certainly necessary. The practice of free use of works in the digital sphere reveals significant problems and contradictions.

Objectives. The purpose of the research is to study the theory and legal nature of the free use of works, the analysis of current legal norms in the field of their digital use, as well as the practice of applying legislation in the field of electronic use of works.

Methods. The research is based on the sociological, system-structural and formal-logical method. Through the historical, legal and comparative method, the development of legal phenomena is traced, ideas and precedents are analyzed.

Results. The conditions and specifics of the legislative regulation of the uncoordinated use of works in the digital environment are revealed. The designation of the institution of legal use of works is established, taking into account the factor of civil and social needs as a restriction on the right of the copyright holder.

Conclusions. In the aspects of normative legal acts that define the limits and boundaries of the rights to use and apply works, the most typical problems that need to be resolved in the free use of copyrighted works in a digital environment are identified, and circumstances are formulated in which the use of a work without the consent of the author can be considered permissible.

The Problem of Interdepartmental Interaction of Public Authorities During Control (Supervisory) Events

Demina M.S., Bogdashin A.V.

Abstract

The article examines the problem of interdepartmental interaction of public authorities in the conduct of control (supervisory) measures in the context of improving the effectiveness of state control. The main attention is paid to the analysis of factors affecting the effectiveness of cooperation, such as lack of coordination, duplication of functions and legal disagreements between different departments. The author considers the introduction of digital technologies, such as the Unified Register of Types of Control (UIC), the Unified Register of Control Measures (ERKNM), as well as the system of interdepartmental electronic interaction (IMEM), as a solution to existing problems.

Background. The article is devoted to the important problem of interdepartmental interaction of public authorities in carrying out control (supervisory) measures in the context of modern challenges facing public administration. The subject of the analysis is the problems of coordination of actions of various departments, legal and organizational barriers, as well as the impact of digital technologies on the effectiveness of state control and supervision. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify and systematize the main problems of interdepartmental interaction of public authorities when conducting control (supervisory) measures in the context of digitalization, as well as to justify the need to integrate digital platforms (EPER, EPNM, SMEV) to increase the coherence of departmental actions, eliminate duplication of functions and optimize control through the unification of information exchange standards and development of pre-trial appeal mechanisms.

Purpose. The author aims to investigate the problems of interdepartmental interaction of public authorities during control (supervisory) activities, as well as to identify ways to increase the effectiveness of this interaction through the improvement of the regulatory framework and the introduction of digital technologies.

Methodology. The research materials used are regulatory legal acts regulating state and municipal control (supervision), data on the functioning of digital platforms (EPER, EPNM, SMEV), as well as the practice of using digital technologies in control and supervisory activities. The methodological basis of the study is an analysis of regulatory legal acts, a comparative method for comparing various practices of interdepartmental interaction, a system analysis method for assessing the impact of digitalization on coordination between departments, as well as an empirical analysis of examples of the implementation of digital solutions in individual regions. The use of an integrated approach has made it possible to identify the main barriers to effective interdepartmental interaction during control measures and suggest ways to overcome them through the improvement of the regulatory framework and the development of digital platforms.

Results. The results of the work are that the author identifies key problems of interdepartmental interaction of public authorities during control and supervisory activities, such as lack of coherence and insufficient integration of information systems. As one of the solutions, the author suggests the development of digital platforms and information systems to improve coordination between departments.

Practical implications. The research results can be applied in the field of state and municipal control, as well as in the development and implementation of digital platforms to improve the effectiveness of interdepartmental interaction. The recommended measures can be used to improve coordination between public authorities, automate control and supervision processes, and improve the regulatory framework in the field of supervisory activities.

Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the evolution of the principle of freedom of contract as a fundamental element of civil law. The scientific novelty of the work consists in a holistic historical and legal analysis of the formation of this principle in various legal systems, including Romano-Germanic and Anglo-Saxon. Modern challenges to the principle of freedom of contract associated with the digitalization of the economy and the emergence of new forms of contractual relations, such as smart contracts, are considered.

Background. The relevance of the study stems from the need for a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the principle of freedom of contract in the context of changing economic and legal systems. The existing developments are mainly limited to the study of this principle within the framework of individual legal systems, which determines the need for a comprehensive historical and legal study.

Objective. Comprehensive analysis of the formation and development of the principle of freedom of contract in Russia and the world, revealing the peculiarities of its transformation from ancient civilizations to the modern digital era.

Methodology. Historical-legal and comparative-legal methods of scientific research were used. An interdisciplinary approach with the involvement of economic doctrines and the analysis of legal norms of different legal systems was applied.

Results. The author's periodization of the evolution of the principle of freedom of contract was developed, the key stages of its development were revealed. It is established that the principle of freedom of contract is transformed from absolute freedom to a more balanced approach taking into account social and economic interests. The peculiarities of the realization of the principle of freedom of contract in different legal systems, including in the context of modern digital transformations, are revealed. The results of the study demonstrate the dialectical nature of the principle of freedom of contract, which is constantly transforming, maintaining a balance between individual autonomy and social interests.

Scope of application of the results. The results of the study can be used in scientific activity in the study of civil law, in lawmaking work to improve contractual legislation, in the educational process in the training of specialists in law and economics.

The Genesis of Parliamentarism within a Monarchical Form of Government

Ryabkova S.A., Kotov I.E.

Abstract

Background. The question of the development of parliamentarism in Europe and Russia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries remains relevant in the context of studying the political modernization of countries and searching for historical parallels with contemporary democratization processes. In the Russian context, P.A. Stolypin's activities are of particular interest. He strived for the modernization of the country but simultaneously employed authoritarian methods of governance, creating tension in relations with the Duma and influencing the development of parliamentarism. The insufficient study of the specifics of Russian parliamentarism during this period, as well as the contradictory assessments of Stolypin's role in this process, determine the relevance of this research.

Objective: To examine the particularities of the establishment of European and Russian parliamentarism in the early 20th century.

Methodology. Historical-genetic, comparative, and institutional methods formed the basis of this research.

Results. It is concluded that dualism directly contributed to the development of parliamentarism, and, despite the contradictory nature of the situation, the Russian Empire was also moving along the path of parliamentarization.

Area of application of results. The research findings can be useful for analyzing contemporary political processes and searching for optimal ways to develop democratic institutions.
