Law in the Epoch of Digital Transformation: in Search of Solutions
Humanity is becoming increasingly dependent on technologies. Their rapid development and expansion requires prompt and integrated response of all public institutions and defi nes one of the main challenges facing the law. To overcome them law requires new theoretical and practical solutions that determine the principles and patterns of technology development and impact the effi ciency of law enforcement in conditions of the world’s digital transformation. The article discusses some of the issues and features of development of the Russian law in the context of digital economy development. New approaches to legal regulation and understanding of digital processes are proposed, in particular, in such fi elds as robotics and artifi cial intelligence. While noting the fact that legal regulation of digital relations keeps up with the current level of technological development, the author warns on unreasonable «hyper-regulation». In his opinion in this fi eld of legal regulation priority should be given to measures of encouragement rather than measures of direct regulation of social relations. In conclusion, the author provides justifi cation for a model of «breakthrough» regulation in Russia.
