The Prospects of the EAEU and the CIS in the Formation of Unified Approaches to the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence

Clustering of the global space opens up new opportunities in ensuring technological sovereignty. Regional cooperation within the framework of the EAEU and the CIS is becoming more relevant. One of the main policy directions of the member states of the associations is the construction and development of a digital economy in which the importance of artificial intelligence technologies is increasing. The topic of the study is the formation of a unified legal space of the EAEU and the CIS in the light of artificial intelligence regulation. The purpose of the study is to summarize the existing global and regional experience of international cooperation in establishing common approaches in the field of development and use of artificial intelligence systems and to identify promising areas of legal integration of the EAEU and CIS member states on AI regulation. Comparative legal, logical and formal legal methods were used in the research process. The positions of the United Nations and the European Union on the regulation of artificial intelligence are analyzed. The current and projected legislation, as well as acts of a programmatic and strategic nature of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan on the development of the digital economy and AI technologies have been studied. At the moment, there is no systematic regulation of artificial intelligence in the EAEU countries, however, approaches to the formation of a regulatory environment based on foreign experience are being actively developed and discussed. To unify legal regulations, it is necessary, firstly, to adopt the EAEU Code of Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, and secondly, to develop the EAEU Digital Code, which will lay the foundation for classifying AI systems by risk level and creating a unified register of AI systems in the EAEU, which will ensure equal access of technology companies to the markets of all EAEU countries.
