Abstract:
The relevance of the research is due to the fundamental change in the vector of development of the digital economy in Russia in the period 2021-2024: from global integration to building technological sovereignty. In the context of unprecedented sanctions pressure and the rapid introduction of end-to-end technologies (artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital financial assets), there is an urgent need to rethink the legal mechanisms for protecting participants in economic turnover. The purpose of the study is to identify the key problems and risks of implementing digital law in the modern economic environment, as well as to analyze the effectiveness of existing regulatory models in the context of digital inequality and geopolitical tensions. The research uses methods of system analysis, the formal legal method, the method of comparative law, as well as content analysis of relevant scientific literature and regulations of the Russian Federation. The results of the study include the systematization of the legal risks of the introduction of neurotechnologies and platform solutions, the identification of gaps in the regulation of artificial intelligence responsibility, as well as the formulation of proposals to improve protective legislation to ensure a balance between innovative development and the protection of citizens' rights. In conclusion, the thesis is substantiated that the digital transformation of law should not be reduced to a technocratic approach; the priority should remain the preservation of humanistic principles and national legal identity.
