About

Vyacheslav Filimonov is a pioneering legal scholar at the forefront of digital transformation and robotics law. His research centers on the doctrinal, legal, and ethical frameworks governing autonomous robotic technologies, artificial intelligence, and the evolving concept of digital rights. Filimonov’s most notable contribution is his foundational monograph, *The Robots Assert Their Rights* (2020), which emerged from the inaugural Far Eastern International Forum he organized—a landmark event that brought together experts to debate the legal personhood of autonomous systems and the moral boundaries of their integration into society. This work, cited by scholars exploring the intersection of technology and jurisprudence, establishes him as a key voice in shaping regulatory responses to AI-driven innovation. Filimonov’s research addresses pressing questions: Can robots hold rights? What ethical standards should govern their use? By bridging legal theory with emerging technological realities, he provides critical guidance for policymakers and researchers navigating the complexities of the digital age. His efforts have positioned him as a leading figure in the global conversation on the legal status of intelligent machines.
