Abstract

Currently, artificial intelligence techniques are actively used in various areas of social life. In higher education, using these techniques is of special interest to both teaching staff and legal community. Statutory regulation of artificial intelligence in the system of higher education is at a not very high level as of today, despite using at some universities really advanced artificial-intelligence technologies.

Authors of this paper have tried to develop a comprehensive scientific concept of the legal aspects of using artificial intelligence in higher education. We analyzed the notion of artificial intelligence and other terms in the area under research, considered the matter of the legal nature of artificial intelligence systems, defined the prospects of legally regulating the relationships to using artificial intelligence in education, and investigated the possibility of instituting civil-law sanctions for artificial intelligence operation in education.

Undoubtedly, onrush of and using artificial intelligence systems in higher education need sound legal support. Legal enactments to be adopted in the area under research must consider both artificial intelligence techniques that are currently used by the institutions of higher education and those to be developed in the nearest future.
