Features of the Development of Legal Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in the European Union

The article presents the main results of the study of the peculiarities of the development of legal support for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the European Union, taking into account the moral and ethical standards required to be observed in the EU. The subject of the study was the relations arising between developers, manufacturers and distributors of AI technologies, on the one hand, and users (individuals and organizations) in the field of using these technologies, on the other. Logical, comparative, empirical, analytical, historical-legal, descriptive, etc. were used as the main methods of cognition during the research. The scientific novelty of the study was the conclusions, according to which, the regulation on AI regulation proposed by the European Commission is so far only an addition to the multi-purpose program of digital legislation, which the European Union announced step by step, starting in 2019. The Commission consciously positions this AI regulation as a measure to protect European values from less scrupulous AI developers in China. Despite a number of the above shortcomings, the analyzed draft regulation is a comprehensive, thoughtful beginning of the law-making and legislative process in Europe and can become the basis for global cooperation in covering a common regulatory network of important new and innovative technologies. At the same time, the gradual convergence of European and American approaches to AI regulation in the coming years may lead to the creation of the EU and the US Council on Trade and Technology, as well as the development of a joint agreement on AI regulation. Nevertheless, the US has not yet expressed its readiness to recognize the definition of AI formulated by the European Union as a high-risk system, as well as the detailed conformity assessment system developed in the EU and the approach to comprehensive regulation of AI. In this regard, it seems appropriate to transfer the above-mentioned approaches developed in the EU to the EAEU member states with their subsequent consolidation with the rules of the Euro-Union, which will allow creating a Eurasian AI security system, which can later grow into a universal system, for example, under the auspices of the UN.
