The article analyzes the problems of exercising civil and procedural rights in relations with
the use of artificial intelligence. On the basis of the study of domestic and foreign experience
theoretical and applied provisions on the possibility of transforming the content of the
categories of the subject of law, legal personality, tort liability, outlined the possible directions
of formation of legal regimes in the digital sphere, ways of establishing guilt and limits of
responsibility for the actions of artificial intelligence. The problems of transformation of
object-subject composition of legal relations, characteristics and filling of subjective rights
and duties with powers, principles of realization of subjective rights and fulfillment of
duties, stages and order of direct realization of rights and duties, protection of subjective
rights, in particular, in choosing of method of protection, non-standard approaches to the
issues of abuse of rights, participation (use) of artificial intelligence in administration of
justice (“predicted justice”) are considered.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; litigation; legal regime; predicted justice; civil legal
relations; procedural legal relations; legal personality; tort; transformation of law; civil
liability; legal regulation.
