Ildar Begishev

About

Ildar Begishev is a Russian legal scholar whose work sits at the pioneering intersection of technology law, artificial intelligence, and robotics regulation. His research has made substantial contributions to understanding how legal frameworks must evolve to govern emerging technologies, with a particular focus on Russian and international regulatory landscapes. Begishev's most influential contribution — his 2020 analysis of Russia's Concept for regulating AI and robotics technologies (22 citations) — provided critical scholarly examination of one of Russia's foundational policy documents in this space. Complementing this, his multidisciplinary 2021 work on the technological, ethical, environmental, and legal dimensions of robotics (16 citations) demonstrated his commitment to holistic policy thinking. Perhaps most strikingly, he has ventured into largely uncharted territory by exploring criminal law implications of robotics, including environmental crimes involving robots and criminological risk classifications of robotic systems — areas where very few legal scholars have ventured. His 2021 draft federal law proposal on robot circulation regulation represents a rare instance of a scholar directly translating research into concrete legislative drafting. With over 90 cumulative citations across his key works, Begishev has established himself as a distinctive voice shaping how post-Soviet legal systems conceptualize accountability, governance, and criminal responsibility in an increasingly automated world.
