The norm-definition of artificial intelligence: a new perspective

The main authorized approaches to a definitive description of the artificial intelligence phenomenon are considered using the example of the Russian Federation and foreign state and legal entities (Great Britain, the USA, the European Union). The shortcomings and problem areas of each recognized terminological definition are described in detail. Specific points are indicated, where exactly their imperfections lie. Among domestic researchers, the author’s positions of I.V. Ponkin and A.I. Redkina, P.M. Morkhat, A.V. Minbaliev, Yu.G. Arzamasov are considered, which, for all their objective advantages, also contain an element of incompleteness. The author’s norm is proposed and explained-the definition of artificial intelligence, which consists of five mandatory components: complex technology, human-like activity, solving certain tasks, “mental” functionality and conditional autonomy. The norm-definition itself, which should be included in the conceptual apparatus of the relevant federal law, is formulated as follows: “artificial intelligence is a complex technology capable of autonomously conducting human-like activities aimed at properly performing specific tasks, commensurate with the inherent imitation of mental parameters. The concept of  “integrated technology” includes a complete hardware and software infrastructure, a regulated environment for working with data and achieving certain results, monitoring and control systems, and a unified information and communication platform”. In the final part, it is concluded that it is the correct description of the innovation under study in law that can lead the country to leadership in this area.
