Improving Mechanisms for Criminal Law Protection of Public Relations Arising in the Process of Digital Society Evolution

legal relations arising in modern digital society in the field of application of artificial intelligence technologies, first of all, require proportional development of the criminal legal framework, since newly emerging innovative products can be potentially dangerous to humans. Purpose: to show that due to insufficient knowledge and the complexity of accurate forecast of the genesis of legal relations that are associated with the use of new technologies, common criminal law norms can no longer sufficiently provide full protection of the well-being of individuals and the state. Methods: historical, logical, comparative analysis, specific sociological techniques. Results: it is proved that despite a number of scientific and theoretical developments in the field of artificial intelligence liability, the issue of its legal regulation remains extremely relevant, has different points of view and needs to be resolved quickly. Meanwhile, solution of the problem associated with criminal liability of artificial intelligence using new technologies should pursue the goal of protecting interests of the society that will soon have to daily face legal problems arising in the process of improving new technologies. Therefore, today modern developments of the latest criminal law protective mechanisms that could very quickly ensure control of public dangers in the area under consideration are so relevant. Conclusions: in the near future, standard practice will not be able to ensure full protection of the welfare of society, since criminal law mechanisms will not be able to adequately respond to emerging technical innovations and, accordingly, will not be able to format new digital criminally punishable actions in their own way. Thus, it is reasonable to look for new solutions for the criminal law protection of public relations of the digital society. At the same time, it is important that designs of new protective mechanisms timely assess the possible risks associated with technical innovations and technological breakthroughs.
