The codification of information and digital legislation has become a trend in the legal systems of EAEU and CIS member states. Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are developing digital codes, and Azerbaijan has announced plans to develop one soon. Russia has prepared its own Concept of the Digital Code of the Russian Federation and is currently working on determining its optimal structure. Upcoming changes and legislative innovations in the regulation of digital and information technologies, the Internet, the communications industry, data processing, the functioning of digital platforms, and the use of artificial intelligence technologies will have a major impact on how the state, the digital economy, society, and business all function. What pillars of information relations should the Digital Code regulate? What is the most effective way to organize the development of the Digital Code? What experience from foreign legal systems could be used when developing the Digital Code? What approaches to regulating artificial intelligence technologies, big data, digital platforms, and other digital technologies need to be enshrined in the Digital Code? What risks could arise when developing the Digital Code?
