Abstract:
On October 17–19, 2024, the Institute of State and Law, University of Tyumen, organized the 6th Siberian Legal Forum on the topic Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities. The forum was attended by more than 500 people from academic and educational organizations and governments from all over Russia and foreign countries.
A special feature of the event was its rich program, including a conceptual plenary report on the first day of the forum and a final plenary session on the second day. The plenary report was presented by Aleksey Minbaleev, head of the Information Law Department of O. E. Kutafin University, on the topic “Legal regulation of artificial intelligence: from current problems to conceptual solutions.” The plenary session discussed such topical issues as “AI rights” and its place in the Russian legal system (Tatyana Polyakova, Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences), advanced fundamental models of artificial intelligence (Dmitry Kuteinikov, University of Tyumen). The distinguished speakers from other countries were Nitesh Kumar Upadhyay, Associate Professor of the School of Law of Symbiosis International University (India), who presented a report on artificial intelligence and human rights, as well as Daniel Brantes Ferreira, founder of the DBFLaw (Brazil), who spoke about the use of artificial intelligence in arbitration.
The Forum’s work took place over two days at eighteen sessions dedicated to various branches of law and areas of legal regulation in the field of application of artificial intelligence technologies. IT solutions for education were also presented within the framework of the forum. Thus, the professors of the University of Tyumen shared their experience of introducing the VR simulator “Forensics” into the educational activities of the University.
