Ethical Regulation of Artificial Intelligence as a Factor of Information Security: the Experience of Thailand

Abstract

The object of the study is the relations in the field of ethical regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technologies. The subject of the study is represented by the regulatory documents of Thailand, which establish prescriptions for the design, development, research, training, deployment and application of artificial intelligence technologies. The features of the Thai approach to the regulation of relations in this area are highlighted. The subjects involved in the regulatory mechanism of artificial intelligence are determined. The ethical requirements for the use of artificial intelligence technologies in relation to certain categories of subjects are investigated. The interrelation of ethical regulation of artificial intelligence technologies and security in the information space is traced. The national model of ethical regulation of artificial intelligence is characterized. Thailand implements a state-centrist model of ethical regulation of artificial intelligence, in which the state defines the basic ethical principles of artificial intelligence and regulates in detail the activities of public and private sector entities on each of these principles. A feature of the Thai model is the emphasis on the importance of training and advanced training of civil servants who are able to use digital technologies in management processes and effectively implement ethical principles in the course of performing their functions. Thailand has included artificial intelligence users in the circle of subjects responsible for the implementation of ethical requirements, as active participants in regulatory processes that can quickly influence the content of algorithms by providing the necessary information to artificial intelligence operators. The Thai model is designed to educate not a passive, but an active user of digital technologies, who is encouraged to raise awareness and improve skills in their use, which leads to strengthening the legal status of users with the help of "soft law" tools. Thailand's implementation of its model of ethical regulation of artificial intelligence will have a positive impact on ensuring information security.
