The article attempts to display the main trends in the development of the information and legal space on the example of the Russian Federation and also to identify problematic aspects and obstacles to the formation of the information and legal space in our state. Since non-compliance with legislation in the field of information technology, violation of citizens’ rights on the Internet, insufficient regulation of activity in social networks and data security problems - all this causes serious difficulties in the formation of a full-fledged information and legal space in our country.

 The results of a study containing a theoretical justification for the creation of an intelligent decision support system in the field of civilian arms trafficking, based on taking into account a variety of legally defined variables based on the domestic regulatory information technology of the federal executive body in the field of arms trafficking (Rosgvardia), are presented. The main research method was the analysis of the current capabilities of a specialized computer program designed to provide information support for the official activities of the divisions of the licensing and permitting work of the Russian Guard to monitor compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of arms trafficking and to model the algorithm for the legal qualification of life circumstances in the course of making decisions on the possibility of issuing (cancellation) of permits in the sphere of circulation of civilian weapons. The result of the study is a logical algorithm of the decision support system, including: search for legal information; legal qualifications based on a multidimensional matrix that functions as a lookup table for decision makers and the preparation of legal documentation templates.

The purpose of the study is to study the experience of digital transformation of lawmaking in the Netherlands. The author’s interest in this state is due to the fact that from January 1, 2023, an online system of digital information on legislation in the field of environment and spatial planning (the Digital System Environment and Planning Act - DSO) began functioning there. An analysis of the peculiarities of the functioning of this system is necessary, since it allows us to identify the challenges emanating from it for the modern legislator. Overcoming these challenges will contribute to further improvement of the system. The main challenge here - the lack of uniformity in the legal system and the imperfection of the natural language used in regulatory legal acts. To sum up, the experience of the Netherlands can be used in Russia.

The article discusses the concept and nature of digital technologies in the system of teaching theoretical and historical legal disciplines, the role of a teacher and mentor in this process. The author correlates the classical forms of the educational process with new digital educational technologies in teaching law. The article questions the possibilities of digitalization to bring education to a fundamentally new level; as well as stimulating development and having a positive impact on the motivation of students. According to the author, digital technologies do not give a significantly greater effect in terms of learning outcomes; digital technologies should remain a means, not an end, of the educational process. Also, forecasts are made regarding the digitalization of education and proposals for its improvement.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the use of digital technologies in the methodology of teaching historical and legal disciplines in the higher education system, to identify positive results and problematic aspects of the digital transformation of the educational process. According to the author, the most effective educational model in modern conditions is a mixed learning model, which allows for the optimal combination of traditional teaching methods and learning with the active use of information and computer technologies.

The article is an analysis of the impact of digitalization on individual cognitive abilities of modern students studying theoretical and historical legal sciences, and the conditions for overcoming the negative impact of information technology on the development of individuals predisposed to scientific thinking. The author analyzes the most common forms of using the Internet in working with scientific sources and examines the most common misconceptions about the positive impact of digital technologies on the cognitive abilities of students.

The problematics are related primarily to progressive space of mass communications where the content and means of information dissemination characterize the level of law-awareness and legal culture of communicants and of a society in general. Diversification of mass-media communications and of networking services along with censure gaps not only provided creation of an erroneous idea of allowability of irresponsible behaviour inside the communicative space but instigated threats to the social unity and solidarity as well.

The era of artificial intelligence (Al) for humanity means a change in all aspects of life, from the organization of everyday life, to technological innovations, social, economic and cultural changes on a planetary scale. Right now, the introduction of Al accelerates scientific and technological processes, rewrites labor and management rules, changes social norms and standards, creating new opportunities and causing an increasing number of ethical and social issues. One of the main problems of the development of any strategy involving the development of artificial intelligence is the determination of the legal, social, and actual status of artificial intelligence. In this regard, there is already a question of how to build a global and national strategy for the development of a society in which technologies based on artificial intelligence will dominate.

Digitalization affects not only human life, but also his consciousness, including legal culture. The purpose of the study is to identify the main trends in changes in legal culture, which are proceeding relatively slowly. Among the main trends one can identify the “split” of the legal culture of the individual, the rethinking of the role of the lawyer in the professional legal culture, the indirect influence of non-human entities on the dynamics of mass legal culture, the emergence of new forms of legal communication and forms of dominant behavior. Therefore, the state needs soft control over relevant trends.

The article reveals the issue ot active digital transtormation in the held of education. The purpose of the article is to identify tools that allow using modern information and communication infrastructure to broadcast traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.

The article considered opportunities for utilizing artificial intelligence in the process of creating rules of law. At the same time, an attempt was made to comprehensively analyze the feasibility of creating and applying three-element rules of law, rather than two-element ones. Particular attention was paid to ensuring the balance of the norm as a percentage, which is only feasible for artificial intelligence. Along with the positive aspects of using artificial intelligence in the process of creating the content of legal norms, the possible risks of such innovations were also calculated.

The concept of anthropologically oriented digital tools acting as digital analogues of a person or organization as traditional subjects of law and having appropriate technological parameters is substantiated. The article analyzes international and national legislation, doctrinal positions regarding the possibility of recognizing a smart robot as a subject of law in the form of an “electronic person”. It is concluded that any subject of law, regardless of the type of legal structure used for its construction, must be connected with a real person, based on real personal and legal properties. The recognition of a “smart robot” as an “electronic person” as a fictitious anthropological and legal model is possible only when such a level of inclusion of robots in the life of the population is reached, in which it will be associated with the necessary protection of citizens’ rights and freedoms and the maintenance of law and order. At the same time, the robot as an “electronic person” should not be considered as autonomous in the anthropological and legal sense, one-order to the traditional varieties of legal entities of education, but as a special form of legal agency, allowed by the legislator as a fiction for the purposes of legal pragmatics and ensuring legal relations involving a digital element.

The article examines the role of legal monitoring in the ongoing digitalization of law enforcement in the Russian Federation. At the same time, one of the priority areas of legal monitoring is the analysis of legal norms regulating the use of digital technologies in public life. Currently, it is impossible to draw an unambiguous conclusion about the high efficiency of legal monitoring in the field of digitalization of law enforcement. However, a full-fledged integration of monitoring into a digital system for predicting the results of changes made to legal acts makes it possible to show the state of the legislative system in the context of the intensity of rule-making activities, as well as to propose measures to improve this process and, accordingly, improve the quality of public and municipal administration.

The article is devoted to the philosophical and legal research of the category “digital man”. Based on the analysis of modern literature and legislation, possible meanings of this concept are considered. It is concluded that at present the concept of “digital man” from the philosophical and legal positions is an oxymoron. However, in the future, it is possible to construct an independent subject of cyberlaw based on the digital profile of a person, which can be designated by the term “digital man”.

This article raises the problem of constructing legal subjects in the digital environment taking into account the broad theoretical and legal context. In the conceptual and methodological block of the article, issues of constructing a subject in law are discussed. Author formulates a conclusion about the historically established adaptation of the paradigm of perception of the subject of law to physical reality, which does not include digital legal relations. It is argued that the concept of subjects of law is based on the presumption of the social significance of plenty of parameters of social subjects, which should consdered as the basis for a particular volume of rights, freedoms, duties and other elements of legal status. In the analytical part of the article, this concept is examined througout the age parameter relative to the two extremely different groups of people participating in legal relations on the Internet - the minors and the elderly people. Changing of basic social presumptions are shown and the outlines of proposals for improving legal regulation are formed.

The main department of the rule of law must be fair and effectively restore violated rights, both property and non-property. The Russian Federation, which has declared itself a legal European Union, must comply with these criteria. There is only one type of harm that is always caused to a person, in all cases of violation of legal rights and interests without exception, and is always caused in the first place, i. e. This harm is moral. This goal is an analysis of problems associated with moral harm caused to consumers in the service sector in the context of the progress of modern markets and digital civilization.

In addition, the use of modern digital technologies in the public order system is a necessary and effective tool that provides better organization of documentation of emergency events and offenses, and, in addition, provides the opportunity to use remote access to information resources.

Regulating Internet platforms is complex and challenging. Experience shows that often the power of transnational corporations to control Internet platforms may be greater than that of the individual States in cyberspace. After expansion the BRICS gets a unique opportunity to use its power to shape a more equitable world order that takes into account the views of the global South on the regulation of Internet space. As the G7 member states move towards integrated regulation of Internet platforms, which includes such aspects as moderation, algorithms, user rights, transparency of social networks, search and audio-visual services, BRICS States should also make similar efforts to protect the rights of their citizens and sovereignty in cyberspace.

To take into account the trends that appear in legal regulation, it is necessary to monitor the methods, means and other elements that the rule-setter uses in the process of legal regulation. In this regard, the manifestation of “soft law” in the legislation of the Russian Federation has become the result of the active use of framework legal regulation and its tools in the process of legal regulation. In this matter, the regulation of the information sphere is no exception, which in turn creates corruption risks that can lead to serious consequences.

This article considers the results of legislative activities in the field of legal support of the digital economy in Russia. The author notes that within the framework of the federal project “normative regulation of the digital environment”, a significant number of legislative initiatives were carried out aimed at the removal of priority barriers that impede the development of the digital economy. Noting that the current stage of the legal regulation of the digital economy in Russia is characterized by the lack of systematization of legislative initiatives included in the federal project. This complicates the understanding and assessment of the current situation, as well as planning the further development of legislation in this area. As a solution to this problem, the author proposes to develop the concept of improving the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of circulation of digital rights. This concept should include the basic directions of improving Russian legislation in the field of digital rights, synchronizing the stages of development of legislation in key areas, and triggers to achieve the tasks. The development of the concept of improving the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of circulation of digital rights is an important step towards the further development of the digital economy in Russia. This concept will systematize the results of current legislative activities, as well as develop a long -term strategy for the development of legislation in this area.

Issues related to the provision of state and municipal services are an important factor in the quality of life of the population. Much attention is paid to the regulatory and legal regulation of this area. Currently, in Russia, the preparation of administrative regulations for the provision of public services is entrusted to the bodies providing such services, and should be carried out in the register of services exclusively in machine-readable format and in electronic form. At the same time, there is no transition period. The work must be done “from scratch”, in a large volume and in a short time. Employees do not have the proper level of training and are not specialized specialists. There are technical problems. To complete the task, it is necessary to carry out training, provide for a transitional period, attract specialized specialists and research organizations.

In the era of digitalization, the task of the introduction of information and communication techs in various sectors of both public and public life is becoming very relevant. Withal, despite the seemingly positive integration of digital technologies into our lives, there are still problems associated with access to the latter (for example, insufficient material and technical inventory).
