The Legal Nature of Digital Platforms in the Russian and Foreign Doctrines

Digital technologies today have an increasing impact on the world and national economy, social, cultural and political spheres of the state’s life. Most developed countries are implementing large-scale digitalization strategies. In Russia, federal programs are being actively implemented. The purpose of federal programms is to introduce digital technologies, artificial intelligence and platform solutions in the fields of public administration, economy, education, etc. In addition to solving technical problems, it is necessary to ensure effective legal regulation of digitalization processes and the further application of innovations in all spheres of the society. The paper provides for a comparative analysis of digital and platform law of foreign countries, as well as an assessment of the need to form a corresponding direction in the legal system of the Russian Federation. Since digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence is a global process, Russian legislation regulating this area of public relations should be created taking into account foreign experience. Such an approach will help to form a system of legal norms that contributes to the accelerated development of digital innovations, platform law, artificial intelligence associated with them, which will ensure the successful application of such innovations in our country.
