Modern Military Technologies and the Responsibility of a Scientist, Creator, Operator, etc.: Some Approaches of the BRICS Countries
( Pp. 142-150)

Based on the legal material of the BRICS countries the article touches upon the issue of legal responsibility of a scientist, creator, operator, etc. for the implementation of the results of his scientific activities in the field of new military technologies. Interest is caused by the impact on legal and military science, as well as on the ideas of both ordinary people and specialists (lawyers, military, sociologists, etc.) provided by new technologies that currently allow to do things that previously could not even be imagined otherwise than in imaginative literature, films, etc. In this way, the current provisions of normative acts (in the field of legislation on intellectual property), ethical codes, etc., and doctrines (works of specialists who give arguments "pro" and "contra" giving legal personality to artificial intelligence) are examined. Scientific novelty is due, firstly, to the choice of countries - these are the BRICS countries, secondly, the subject of the study is the legal responsibility for the implementation of the results of scientific activity of a scientist in the field of new military technologies, thirdly, the analysis of a selected range of issues in an interdisciplinary aspect - from the standpoint of jurisprudence, military science, ethics. Among the conclusions reached by the author, the inevitability of ethical problems when using AI in civil (for example, transport) and military autonomous systems. In this regard, attempts have been made to solve these problems in the BRICS countries in various ways: from declarative limitations in patent legislation to the development of guidelines and ethical principles that meet the realities. The need to develop a single document with an international legal status on the issue of AI-human interaction, based on the opinions and ideas about the principles of such interaction of more than eighty subjects from around the world is also showed.
