PROBLEMS OF ENSURING AND PROTECTING THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION OF THE WILL OF THE LAW-MAKING SUBJECT IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Aim. To find out the problems of ensuring and protecting freedom of expression as a factor of law-making in the era of the new technological revolution and propose ways to overcome them.

Methodology. The methods of analysis and synthesis are used to represent the essence of the problems that have arisen in lawmaking in the conditions of changing technological patterns. The inductive method made it possible to study the positions of a number of schools of jurisprudence on the interpretation of threats to the freedom of expression of will to the subject of law-making. In the course of the study, the method of comparative jurisprudence was used, with the help of which it was possible to present a mechanism for ensuring and protecting freedom of expression as a category of the theory of lawmaking.

The general scientific dialectical method has become an effective tool for cognizing the natural phenomenon of the law-making process - freedom of expression.

Results. It is suggested that the era of digitalization will not destroy the idea of a person as a subject of law-making: he will not lose the status of the creator (creator) of the rule of law, and freedom of expression as a factor of law-making will be ensured and preserved.

Research implications. The ways of ensuring and protecting the freedom of expression of will as a factor of law-making of the subject of law-making in the era of digital transformations and mass use of artificial intelligence are determined.
