The author offers his own definition of the concept of legal regulation of autonomous robots and artificial intelligence (AI) that is based on etymological concepts, legal regulation, robot, artificial intelligence and scientific views of scientists, who were exploring the legal aspects of robotics and artificial intelligence. The author notes that the legal regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) today is not only relevant, but too late because the rapid development of robotics is flooding all spheres of human life. That is why it is expedient, first, to create immediately the working groups, which should include not only lawyers, scientists and practitioners, but also specialists in the field of information technologies, mechanics, engineers and technicians in the field of robotics and mechatronics, specialists in the field of health and medicine. On the example of the Committee for the issues of development of the field of artificial intelligence in Ukraine, which was created by Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine in 2020. Secondly, all subjects of the legislative initiative should introduce the projects of normative legal acts in which should clearly define changes and additions to the current codified laws in certain legal areas: constitutional law, administrative law, civil law, commercial law, environmental law, criminal law. The author of the article offers to start the creation of a single legal framework that could regulate the projecting, development and application of artificial intelligence, which significantly affect human rights, democracy and the rule of law. We also consider it expedient for the newly created Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine to propose to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to consolidate the existing standards with the help of the interpreting the norms, principles and values that have been already adopted in this area, or of the development of the Draft Law of Ukraine "On the adoption of standards that are necessary for the digital age".
