On October 22, the SPbGASU hosted a regional roundtable discussion titled "Economic and Legal Issues of Transforming Public Relations in the Context of Digitalization."
Participants exchanged views on industry-specific issues of legal regulation in the context of digitalization; current trends in the digitalization of civil and arbitration proceedings; and controversial issues related to the application of artificial intelligence in the legal sphere.
Nikolai Zhilsky, Head of the Department of Legal Regulation of Urban Development and Transport at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, spoke about the relevance of the roundtable: "Everyone is switching to digital technology now. Public attitudes toward this are mixed, and it's difficult for people to adapt. There's no legal framework, and creating one will take years. This is the topic of our roundtable.
Together with my colleague, Elizaveta Yankovskaya, a lecturer in our department, we prepared a report on the legal framework for the digitalization of insolvency (bankruptcy) procedures for legal entities. On the one hand, digital technologies improve the efficiency, transparency, openness, accessibility, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and acceleration of bankruptcy procedures. The ability to collaborate remotely is also a major advantage. On the other hand, new risks arise in the areas of cybersecurity, legal compliance, and personal data protection. We wanted to draw the attention of the scientific community to these and other issues related to digital transformation."
Irina Borodushko, Head of the Department of Law at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, presented a report titled "A Seamless Digital Sky for Russia: State Policy, Regulatory Framework, and Technologies." She highlighted the challenging aspects of developing unified legal regulation of ground, air, and low-orbit space in the Russian Federation.
Elena Silina, professor of the Department of Civil Procedural Law at the North-West Branch of the V. M. Lebedev Russian State University of Justice, presented a paper entitled "Current Issues and Priority Areas for the Development of Digitalization in Civil and Arbitration Proceedings."
Of particular interest was the report by Valentina Maksimova, a lawyer with the Baltic Interregional Bar Association of St. Petersburg, entitled "The Economic Consequences of Uncontrolled Access to Lawyers' Personal Data in the State Automated Systems "Pravosudie" and "My Arbitrator": Risk Assessment and Development of a Defense Strategy."
Professors from St. Petersburg universities, practicing lawyers, and representatives of organizations in the real sector of the economy participated in the discussion of the regional roundtable discussion "Economic and Legal Issues of Transforming Public Relations in the Context of Digitalization."
