The development of artificial intelligence necessitates the legal regulation of social relations associated with the use of new technologies. Today, fragmented regulatory regulation is noted in Russian law, expressed, as the rule, in strategic documents in which artificial intelligence technologies are reflected as cross-cutting technologies that contribute to the development of the digital economy. The purpose of this work is to determine the place of artificial intelligence among the elements of legal relations, which is seen as necessary for building the model of legal regulation of artificial intelligence. The research methodology is based on the set of methods of scientific knowledge, including abstract logical, formal legal and the method of correlation analysis. The article analyzes approaches to determining the place of artificial intelligence in the structure of legal relations. The scientific discussion is that some authors attribute artificial intelligence to the variety of objects of legal regulation; other authors admit that it is possible to consider artificial intelligence as the specific subject of law. As the result of research, the authors come to the conclusion that today artificial intelligence should be classified as the type of objects of legal regulation. In conclusion, the work also evaluates the possibilities and measures of the participation of artificial intelligence in legal activities. The authors come to the conclusion that today the cognitive potential of artificial intelligence has not yet reached the level of development that allowed it to repeat the thought processes of the lawyer in resolving the legal dispute. At the same time, artificial intelligence has tremendous potential to become the irreplaceable technological “assistant” for the lawyer, contributing to the improvement of the quality and efficiency of legal services.

The article discusses the main historical milestones in the development of the ideas of economic analysis of law. The scientific works of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Frederic Bastiat, which laid the conceptual foundation for the use of the economic approach in legal science, are analyzed. Among the founding fathers of the economic analysis of law, the author proposes to single out a number of outstanding economists and lawyers. The article pays special attention to the research of scientists Ronald Coase, Guido Calabresi, Gary Becker and Richard Posner, who made a significant contribution to the development and popularization of the ideas of economic analysis of law, including in the higher legal school. The author comes to the conclusion that the economic analysis of law as an independent concept has come a long way of formation and development. Thanks to outstanding scientists-economists, a kind of revolution took place in legal science and legal education. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the importance of applying a historical approach to the study of the inclusion of economic prerequisites in jurisprudence and emphasizes the positive prospects for using historical methodology for research in domestic law.

The article analyzes the legal problems of the integration of science and education, offers an assessment of various organizational forms of integration of science and higher education over the past 30 years. The main provisions, stages of implementation and the results of the implementation of various scientific and educational state programs are studied, statistical data are provided that emphasize the increase in the volume of scientific activities carried out in educational organizations (higher educational institutions). The authors investigate the status of educational organizations as subjects of scientific law, emphasize the imperfection of Russian educational legislation regarding the differentiation of educational institutions of higher education and scientific organizations. The article focuses on the study of the positive and negative consequences of the introduction of a new category of higher educational institutions – flagship universities. After analyzing the problems of legal regulation of flagship universities, the authors come to the conclusion that the logical conclusion of the reform of flagship universities can be the establishment of the status of flagship universities in the legislation on education and a clear separation of flagship and federal universities.

Games in general and computer games in particular have long been a subject of research in legal research starting from the focus on the analogy between law and games (known inter alia from the works by A. Ross). However, by the beginning of the 21st century computer games and, above all, multiplayer computer games (virtual worlds) became an independent subject of legal research, both because of the interest in private legal problems and based on the methodological premise in the spirit of L. Lessig, according to which the study of the legal dimension of multiplayer game worlds, just as it was earlier with the Internet, can provide new knowledge about the law in general. Computer games are a commercially successful type of media, reflecting the acute problems of “digital law” and one of the significant theoretical and legal problems of determining the reasonable limits of law intervention in “non-serious” or “virtual” relationships. To understand the peculiarities of computer games, including for the purposes of legal research and improvement of the model of legal regulation, a broad interdisciplinary view that takes into account the approaches developed in media studies (M. McLuhan, L. Manovich et al.) and in studies of games as such (J. Huizinga and R. Caillois et al.). As a result, computer games can be considered as a kind of new media the qualities of which are reflected in their main legal qualifications — as the results of intellectual activity, information, means of communication and, actually, games. These qualities can be considered as basic for the development of the model of regulation of computer games and the game industry, taking into account the balance of interests of developers, publishers and the game community, as well as taking into account national interests.
