Introduction: the digitalization of domestic healthcare is one of the strategic tasks facing the digitalization of the Russian economy. The solution of this task is not possible without the creation of a proper legal basis. Without removing legal barriers, there can be no chance of introducing the latest information and communication technologies that provide significant advantages in achieving the highest level of health. Purpose: to investigate the legal aspects of the use of artificial intelligence in medicine. Methods: the methodological framework for the study is the methods of scientific cognition, among which the main ones are the methods of systemacity, analysis and comparative law. Results: the paper highlights the directions of digitalization of Russian healthcare, the possibilities of using artificial intelligence technologies in medicine, and the main problems of using these technologies in healthcare. Conclusions: artificial intelligence technologies are actively developing in modern healthcare due to the widespread appearance of big data, increased computing power, the development of cloud services, as well as numerous examples of the effectiveness and prospects of applied solutions and their ability to respond to modern challenges and problems in healthcare. The Russian Federation already has a sufficient legal framework regulating the relations in the digitalization of healthcare and the use of artificial intelligence. The main task in the course of the upcoming work is to improve the existing legal tools, identify and eliminate the legal barriers that hinder further digitalization. It is necessary to consolidate the provision whereunder a wide range of specialists, including medical professionals, representatives of the legal community, representatives of software development firms, should be involved in the discussion of introducing artificial intelligence in healthcare, so that they can fully share their analysis of the impact and possible consequences of the introduction of applications based on artificial intelligence into the healthcare system, as well as to develop the necessary ethical framework in which they should act.
Key words: healthcare, artificial intelligence, digitalization, medicine, patient, robotics.
