Технології блокчейн та штучний інтелект в інформаційному суспільстві: філософсько-правові аспекти
Blockchain Technology and Artificial Intelligence in the Information Society: Philosophical and Legal Aspects

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a comprehensive study of the philosophical and legal aspects of the development and use of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the context of the emerging information society. The peculiarities of the interaction between technological and legal systems in the context of digital society transformation are analysed. The main features of the decentralised blockchain architecture, which ensure a new level of transparency, trust, and data protection, are revealed, and the role of artificial intelligence in shaping automated decision-making processes is characterised. The study emphasises that these technologies radically change the traditional understanding of legal relations, accountability, ethical responsibility, and social communication. It is found that blockchain promotes the establishment of digital trust and autonomy of subjects. At the same time, artificial intelligence creates conditions for delegating human functions to algorithms and lays the groundwork for new forms of legal subjectivity. Special attention is paid to the risks associated with the legal uncertainty of autonomous systems, potential privacy violations, and threats of digital inequality. The article also considers the ethical dimensions of algorithmic use, questions of the legitimacy of their decisions, and the need for a philosophical and legal rethinking of the concepts of “responsibility”, “freedom”, and “trust” in the digital world. The conclusion is drawn that the effective functioning of blockchain and AI systems is possible only through a harmonious combination of technical standards, legal norms, and moral principles, which should reflect the fundamental values of humanity.
