The article systematically examines some problematic issues of legal regulation of public relations in the global information space, in particular, concerning the provision of information security and cybersecurity in the information sphere in the conditions of global digitalization of society, especially concerning the use of information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies.
In the Constitution of Ukraine, the right to security is one of the fundamental rights of a citizen and encompasses human security as the highest social value, which includes, in particular, personal security, environmental security, citizen security in the state, information security. Therefore, the problem of legal regulation of relations in the information sphere is relevant in connection with the development of information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies. The digitalization of society and the digitalization of social relations through the rapid development of information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies, as well as through the comprehensive use of Internet networks - all this poses new challenges for the global provision of information and cybersecurity in connection with the urgent need to combat offenses in information and cyberspace, in particular regarding the use of information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies. It is noted that Ukraine, along with, first of all, developed countries in Europe and the world, is also moving along the path of legal regulation of the information and communication sphere. One of the ways to solve the problem of which relations in the information sphere require direct legal regulation, and which ones should be regulated by law, is to conduct, so to speak, an "inventory" of the existing legal framework in order to identify gaps and, on this basis, to further develop recommendations for improving the current legislation of Ukraine.
