The paper is devoted to contemporary problems of legal support for the development, introduction and use of artificial intelligence and robotics systems as one of the vectors of the development of Russian information law. The purpose of the study is to The aim of the study is to gain scientific insight into the place of a set of legal norms governing relations associated with this digital technology in the system of modern Russian law. In the course of the study, a group of interrelated methods is used, the choice of which is determined by the subject of scientific work, including system analysis, generalization, and the formal-logical method. As a result of the study, it is concluded that at present there are objective conditions and the need to establish a complex legal institution – the law of artificial intelligence in the information law system. The paper substantiates the complex nature of this institution and notes that the law of artificial intelligence, being a complex formation, is associated with a group of legal institutions of information law – institutions of personal data, information of limited access, Internet law, identification, responsibility in the information sphere and others.

The meaning of pictures is often unclear. Yet, at the same time, pictures are powerful. Their power can be frightening and yet they are used as convincing arguments. How pictures function is analysed by the visual sciences. However, the law, both as a system and a regulatory framework which contrasts the precision of writing with the blurriness of images, remains largely ignored even though it provides a multitude of legal regulations with regard to images. This volume, entitled ‘Image and Law’, undertakes a fundamental survey of this new field of research, and takes a closer look at some of the questions and issues raised. It will therefore be of equal interest to scholars of the visual sciences and to lawyers alike. It is also a fascinating read for all those interested in cultural studies. The author is the head of the Institute for Information Law at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), a Senior Fellow of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg ‘Recht als Kultur’ (Law as Culture) and an expert in the fields of copyright and art law.

A new approach is presented to defining the amount of information, in which information is understood as the data about a finite set as a whole, whereas the average length of an integrative code of elements serves as a measure of information. In the framework of this approach, the formula for the syntropy of a reflection was obtained for the first time, that is, the information which two intersecting finite sets reflect (reproduce) about each other. Features of a reflection of discrete systems through a set of their parts are considered and it is shown that reproducible information about the system (the additive syntropy of reflection) and non-reproducible information (the entropy of reflection) are, respectively, measures of the structural order and the chaos. At that, the general classification of discrete systems is given by the ratio of the order and the chaos. Three information laws have been established: The law of conservation of the sum of chaos and order; the information law of reflection; and the law of conservation and transformation of information. An assessment of the structural organization and the level of development of discrete systems is presented. It is shown that various measures of information are structural characteristics of integrative codes of elements of discrete systems. A conclusion is made that, from the information-genetic positions, the synergetic approach to the definition of the quantity of information is primary in relation to the approaches of Hartley and Shannon.

The theories of information ethics articulated by Luciano Floridi and his collaborators have clear implications for law. Information law, including the law of privacy and of intellectual property, is especially likely to benefit from a coherent and comprehensive theory of information ethics. This article illustrates how information ethics might apply to legal doctrine, by examining legal questions related to the ownership and control of the personal data representations, including photographs, game avatars, and consumer profiles, that have become ubiquitous with the proliferation of information and communication technologies. Recent controversy over the control of player performance statistics in "fantasy" sports leagues provides a limiting case for the analysis. Such data representations will in many instances constitute the kind of personal data that information ethics asserts constitutes an information entity. Legal doctrine in some instances proves sympathetic to such an assertion, but remains largely inchoate as to which data might constitute a given information entity in a given instance. Neither is information ethics, in its current state of development, entirely helpful in answering this critical question. While information ethics holds some promise to bring coherence to this area of the law, further work articulating a richer theory of information ethics will be necessary before it can do so.

Disclosure of public information is one manifestation of the implementation of good governance where the public information disclosure is the duty of government and public institutions. It refers to the fact that the public information is public property and is not owned by the government and public institutions. Therefore, to be able to meet these conditions, the Freedom of Information Law was established, despite the fact that the law is not so popular in the community, so it is still necessary

The paper analyzes current issues of legal transformation in the context of digitalization. It is noted that, despite the existing and undeniable opinion of experts on the importance of digital transformation of law, this issue is not sufficiently developed, there is no consensus on what exactly this transformation should be expressed and whether the legislation has a sufficient degree of adaptability. Meanwhile, the ability of the law to adapt to the requirements of the digital age has an impact on ensuring the positive development of the digital economy, on clear processes for implementing ‘digit’ and on minimizing possible risks. The author pays main attention to the directions and stages of adaptation, determination of the legal status of digital technologies, their protection capacity and delinquency. The author identifies four components of adaptability of modern law and suggests evaluating it in two main directions: legal categories and institutions and private issues of technology regulation. Special attention is paid to the issue of copyright in the field of technology, but it is emphasized that first of all, the legal nature of the rights to the products of digital technologies should be determined. Based on expert assessments, key parameters of legal regulation of digital technologies and their products are determined and the need to supplement civil, financial and information law with new categories and institutions is justified. It is emphasized that the digital economy requires the development and adoption of fundamentally new legal structures. In addition, their development requires the efforts of the entire international community to ensure the universality of the law.

The Indonesian media is vibrant and expanding, although ownership concentration is a significant problem. This chapter describes the regulatory framework governing the media that was developed after Soeharto’s system of tight control was abolished. It pays particular attention to the Press Council and the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission. It also covers journalists’ associations, press freedom, censorship, and the right to privacy; and the law of defamation and related provisions in the law on electronic transactions and information. Freedom of information law and laws protecting state secrets are also covered. The chapter discusses two high-profile defamation cases that created controversy in Indonesia—those involving Prita Mulyasari and Tommy Soeharto. These reveal serious flaws in the current legal regime governing the media in Indonesia.
