Transformation of Legal Relations in the Context of Digitalization

The paper analyzes the problems arising while new elements in the structure of legal relations in the context of development of information and telecommunication technologies are emerging: objects (the Internet, artificial intelligence, etc.), subjects or participants (virtual identity, a provider, a virtual bank, etc.), as well as  the content. As a result of the analysis of normative legal acts operating in the information field, the author has determined a number of conclusions related to the subject-object composition of legal relations that have emerged in the process of digitalization, as well as the development of information law and legislation originating from processes under consideration. The author has drawn a conclusion that entrenchment of the content of legal relations (subjective rights and legal obligations) in the legislation of the Russian Federation has its own characteristic features. The paper contains the definition of the process of digitalization and the conclusion about the need to substantiate the content of legal relations in the conditions of development of information and communication technologies with the functionality that provides orderly arrangement of processes of digitalization of all fields of public life.
