New studies on the legal regulation of artificial intelligence and labor digitalization in Russia and Belarus (2021–2025)

Three books on the legal regulation of artificial intelligence and the digital transformation of labor were analyzed. The contributions of Russian and Belarussian scholars working in an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of jurisprudence, social sciences, and technology were summarized and assessed. The first publication, I.A. Filipova’s textbook, includes lectures, seminar plans, recommended readings, practical assignments, etc. The lecture content using a problem-based approach to cover the legal regulation of artificial intelligence was examined. The author not only discusses and briefly describes the seven topics of the lecture course but also raises some controversial issues associated with the development and legal regulation of artificial intelligence systems and technologies. The second publication, I.A. Filipova’s monograph, is dedicated to the challenges of digitalization and its impact on labor relations and labor law. The third publication, written by a team of Belarussian researchers, explores the global experience in artificial intelligence regulation and outlines the strategies for artificial intelligence governance in the Republic of Belarus. Collectively, all three books considered here hold significant value for comparative legal studies and the coordinated development of legal regulation of artificial intelligence within the Union State of Russia and Belarus.
