Abstract

At present, the use of artificial intelligence technologies (AI) have become a general trend even in the areas normally appertained by humans. Smart technologies are actually widely used to ensure functioning of many vital sectors of economy such as public transport, communications, nuclear energy, space, medicine, etc. Such tendency also evokes the question about the use of AI for public administration and not only from the point of view of technology or ethics but also from the legal point of view. In this article, the authors seek to suggest a number of ideas and assumptions about general and specific legal issues on the use of AI for public sector, such as legal status and responsibility of AI, public trust and influence on Human rights.
