Aim. To identify problems and find optimal approaches to the introduction of electronic voting in municipal elections in Russia. Methodology. Analysis of regulation and implementation of mechanisms of stationary and remote electronic voting was carried out. During the work, methods were used: dialectical approach, systemic-structural, formal-legal, comparative legal, axiological, etc. Results. The problems and limitations of the electronic voting use are identified. It can only become an auxiliary method of voting at modern municipal elections. General approaches to its further development and improvement are proposed. The importance of ensuring security and confidentiality of electronic voting in line with the concept of «chain of trust» is given ground for. At the same time, the identified problems require not abandoning modern technologies, but their improvement and adaptation to the legal realities in Russia. Research implications. The author proposes directions for the development of electronic voting, associated with expanding the coverage of electronic voting technologies in municipalities of Russia, increasing transparency and transparency for voters in the processes of registering their votes and ensuring the secrecy of expression of will. The significance of the experience of the municipal level of organizing elections is seen in the fact that this level of public authority, which is the closest to the population, has become an experimental platform for accumulating and generalizing the experience of organizing and conducting electronic voting, primarily remote voting.

Aim. To find out the peculiarities of modern educational relations in the system of public relations, which are the subject of legal regulation. Methodology. The study used: a comparative legal method, a historical approach, an analysis of regulatory legal acts in the field of education and legal practice of educational organizations, as well as statistical methods Results. The study of the theme made it possible to conclude that nurturant relations in modern society are not identical to educational ones. They can be legal in nature and constitute an independent subject of legal regulation, differing in a specific set of legal means of influence. In addition, they are always aimed at a person as an individual or at a group of people, and do not apply to legal persons or persons without consciousness. The ultimate goal of legal influence in the framework of nurturant relations is not the training of the personality, not lack of development of its logical and normative component of legal consciousness, but other than the initial characteristics of behavior, namely: the transformation of its motivational component of legal consciousness, which is manifested in the development of intelligence and legitimate human acts (consistent with the principles of justice, reflecting the current system of values). Law formalizes the means and methods of legal regulation of nurturant relations on which their effectiveness depends. Modern nurturant relations can be effective if they are characterized by a subject-subject approach, are built on a value basis adequate to modern society. In the context of the development of digital society, technological singularity, the transformation of human existence, it is nurturant relations that should be the object of close attention to law and the state. The future of human civilization depends on their quality. The work provides specific recommendations regarding the development of regulatory legal acts regulating nurturant relations. Research implications. The obtained data can be used in the work on the organization of nurturant activities in the system of higher education, in the process of studying the issues of legal education within the framework of the theory of state and law.

Aim. To logically formulate the problem of legal thinking of artificial intelligence and the emerging legal relationship between biological and non-biological intelligence at an early stage of artificial intelligence development, capable of claiming the role of conventional legal theory and providing a satisfactory explanation of one or another social and legal relationship based on their nature. Methodology. When working on the article, the authors studied a large volume of scientific and legal literature, numbering about 70 sources, some of which were little known to the Russian scientific community or were first introduced into scientific circulation. The methodological basis of the study is a complex of general scientific and special legal methods, in particular, the systemic method, analysis, synthesis, generalization and forecasting. Besides, a formal legal method was used for the purpose of analyzing regulatory legal acts, as well as a comparative approach when analyzing foreign and Russian sources. The historical and legal method made it possible to consider the origin, formation and development of natural and positive law in chronological sequence, taking into account modern technological features. Results. In the course of the research: 1) a careful attempt was made to describe the genesis of philosophical (natural) law through theoretical constructions in the form of a natural process from the ontological principle to the axiological one; 2) consistently collected and analyzed various existing scientific-philosophical and religious-philosophical approaches to natural law, categories of good and evil, as ontological and axiological principles of law; 3) offered answers to the main questions of the philosophy of law; 4) an abstract legal structure is formulated in the form of a pyramid of abilities, which makes it possible to give a satisfactory answer to the question about the laws of natural law processes and describe their possible trajectories in the future. Research implications. The scientific novelty of the work lies in anticipating the regulation of legal relations associated with the emergence of artificial intelligence and personified value categories in the latter, which are different from human ones. The results of the work can be used in teaching such disciplines as «Philosophy» and «Philosophy of Law».

Aim. To explore the essence and legal nature of "deepfakes", the latest technology based on the use of generative-adversarial neural networks, which in the near future can become a threat to national security, as well as to study the level of legal regulation of artificial intelligence in Russia and abroad. Methodology. The article discusses specific examples of the use of deepfakes in the US elections. Methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, generalization, abstraction, formal legal, comparative legal methods were used in the research. Results. In the course of the work, the essence and main types of digs used for illegal purposes were identified, the conclusion was made that an international convention on the regulation of digs should be adopted. Research implications. The results of the research contribute to the theory of state and law in the theory of information law.

Aim. Scientific consideration of the prospects for the transformation of law in connection with the factor influence of the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Methodology. An analysis of the modern world futurological and prognostic discourse was carried out in terms of the possible artificial intelligence influences on the field of law. The source basis of the study is primarily the texts of futurological discourse, reflecting ideas about the technological changes impact on the field of law. Materials from sociological surveys reflecting the perception of artificial intelligence by the Russian population and giving appropriate projections regarding the diagnosis of legal consciousness are also used. Results. During the work, topical aspects of the legal regulation of the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies were identified. Trends and prospects for the transformation of law in the field of public relations related to the use of AI are outlined. It was concluded that the lengthy procedure for adopting laws protects against the process of technological updating. The importance of adopting universal legal approaches to the development of artificial intelligence technologies at the international level, which would lay down general principles for the long term, is emphasized. Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the theory of digital law through the categorical clarification of a number of concepts, creating the prerequisites for a further in-depth conceptual study of legal phenomena.
