Novel criminal delicts related to digital human being

У продовження попередніх досліджень в статті пропонуються de lege ferenda окремі правові дефініції та нормативні формулювання нових форм суспільно небезпечної поведінки, які тим чи іншим чином пов'язані з цифровою людиною (digital human being, Homo numeralis, Homo digitalis, Homo Horologium). Прогнозується, що цифрова людина вже не буде людською істотою, до якої ми звикли. Не виключається можливість того, що у цифрової людини зазнають змін певні ціннісні орієнтири.

Ключові слова: штучний інтелект, суб'єкт злочину, біоінженерія, кі- борг, неорганічна форма життя, цифрова людина, Homo numeralis, Homo digitalis, Homo horologium, digital human being.

В продолжение предыдущих исследований в статье предлагаются de lege ferenda отдельные правовые дефиниции и нормативные формулировки новых форм общественно опасного поведения, которые тем или иным образом связаны с цифровым человеком (digital human being, Homo numeralis, Homo digitalis, Homo Horologium). Прогнозируется, что цифровой человек уже не будет человеческим существом в привычном смысле. Не исключается возможность того, что у цифрового человека претерпят изменения определенные ценностные ориентиры.

Setting a problem. According to a considerable number of researchers (An- drey Kurpatov, David Eagleman, Dean Burnett, Dee Joy Coulter, Daniel J. Siegel, Dick Frans Swaab, Mariano Sigman, Loretta Graziano Breuning, Mark Hyman, Kaja Nordengen, Paul W. Glimcher, Ryuta Kawashima etc.) the human brain is more powerful than it necessary for the survival of the biological species Homo sapiens. In nature, this occurs only in the case when previously there was destructive competition. Probably that due to this competition Homo habilis, rudolfensis, ergaster, erectus, floresiensis, antecessor, heidelbergensis, neanderthalensis, rho- desiensis, cepranensis, georgicus and other are extinct. Nowaday Homo sapiens is getting with powerful new competitors. They are artificial intelligence and digital human being (Homo digital, Homo numeralis, Homo digitalis, Homo Horologium)1.

An analysis of recent research and publications on this topic. The issue of considering the circumstances that characterize the person of the criminal has been paid attention in nearly all criminal law works by M. I. Bazhanov, V. S. Batirgareeva, Yu. V. Baulin, V. I. Borisov, I. M. Danshin, L. N. Demidova, O. V. Zaitsev, A. A. Muzika, V. O. Navrotsky, N. I. Panov, V. V. Stashis, V. Ya. Tatziy, V. O. Tulyakov, P. L. Fris, V. I. Shakun, M. I. Khavroniuk, V. B. Kharchenko, V. V. Ustimenko and many others. Significant contributions to the study of the phenomenon of artificial intelligence have been made James Barrat, Eric Horvitz, Niklas Bostrom, Elon Musk, George Dyson, Kevin Kelly, Ryan Calo, Peter M. Asaro, Vernor Steffen Vinge and many others, in the area of domestic law - by O. A. Baranov, M. V. Karchevskiy, V. A. Misliviy, N. A. Savinova, E. O. Kharitonova, O. I. Kharitonova etc. However, the problem of the legal status of digital human being (Homo digital) is only at the beginning of the study.

The purpose of the study is to formulate de lege ferenda of individual legal definitions and (or) legislative formulations of forms of socially dangerous behavior that are in one way or another related to digital human being.

Presenting main material. Over the last one hundred of the two hundred thousand years of the general history of mankind, human lifespan has increased almost twice, the height has changed considerably, body weight, IQ level and other indicators, but the possibility of extending the boundaries of nature to the species

Homo sapiens today continues not only through evolution. Belief in the possibility and necessity of this is based on transhumanism.

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is a philosophical movement that advocates for the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology. Its famous representatives are Nick Bostrom, James Burke, Martin Rees, Allen Buchanan, Dan Brock, Norman Daniels, Daniel Wikler, Hans Mo- ravec, Raymond Kurzweil, Robert Ettinger, others.

Robert Fogel called this path to boundless perfection a technological- physiological evolution. A similar concept is called dual inheritance theory. These views are united by the realization that human evolution becomes more artificial than is determined by biology and natural selection. Humanity has learned to interfere with the genetic code, clone organs and produce artificial life. In 2010, a team of researchers led by Craig Venter, for the first time de novo has resynthesized the genome of the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides and placed it into the cell of another microorganism Mycoplasma capricolumClyde A.

According to Michio KakuKaku М. Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel. Duke University Libraries: Doubleday Publishing, 2008. P. 233., the possibility of combining carbon technology (human) with silicon technology (artificial intelligence, implants, objects of robotics), or transfer the structure of the human brain, one neuron by one to inorganic or semi-organic carrier, should be classified to the first class of impossibilities, which is impossible only today (more precisely, as of the year of the first edition of "Physics of the Impossible"), but at the same time does not violate the known laws of nature, because of which it can be realized in the closest sometimes.

Improvement of a person occurs in the following main directions:

1) bioengineering (interference in the human organism at the cellular and atomic levels; development of hybrid nanorobots based on synthetic proteins; implantation of reconstructed DNA; obtaining stem cells from liver adipose tissue cells; growing organs to order or 3D printing them; insertion of Neanderthal DNA into the egg of a modern woman Homo Sapiens as a surrogate motherWade Nicholas.

2) the creation of a living being that combines organics with inorganics, or the formation of a cybernetic organism (cyborg) - a biological organism that contains mechanical and / or electronic components (eg., cochlear implants to renew hearing and take it on a new level); iBrain Neurointerface for fine motor control, tested by Stephen Hawking; replacement of human amputated limbs with technological prostheses, including an i-LIMB Pulse artificial arm or a knee prosthesis capable to self-training with artificial intelligence RheoKnee developed by Ossur company; retinal prosthesis in the form of a microchip by Retina Implant; artificial heart by Total Artificial Heart; EnChroma glasses for color perception, etc.);

3) creation of an inorganic life form (copying or complete transfer consciousness every part of it on the primary carrier, intelligence and personality of the human to digital or other medium; scanning of the human brain and renewal of its electronic copy, variant that is investigated by neurologist Steven Novella from Yale UniversityNovella Steven.

In this regard, there is a real risk that new types of criminal offenses may be committed, including:

- the use of improved physical (strength, agility, speed, endurance, flexibility, etc.) and cognitive abilities of the person (perception of all signals of the surrounding world, including ultrasound and infrasound, perfect memory, processing large amounts of information and decision-making process at accelerated speeds (seconds and milliseconds), concentration of attention, etc.) to facilitate of commission of traditional crimes;

- unlawful use of the results of the combination of biology with information technology, manipulation of substances on an atomic or molecular scale using nanotechnology;

- the development and exploitation personalized biological weapons that is using unique biological, including genetic, information from a specific person or specific human group;

- artificial forgery and using, including at the scene of a crime, blood, saliva or other biological material from the DNA profile of a particular person or a specific human group;

- illegal interference in the work of devices such as, the above-mentioned cochlear implants, retinal prosthesis, etc.);

- creation of a duplicate of a person, illegal copying or complete transfer (without remnants of the primary medium) of consciousness, intelligence and individuality of the person (himself or the outsider) to a digital or other medium, the use of these duplicates for committing a criminal offense;

- appropriation and (or) use of another's personality on the basis of forgery and / or copying of genetic features of the biological body and / or information personality by mastering its digital footprint;

- rape or other violence against a virtual character (avatar) that causes damage to its owner due to their almost complete identification (in a case investigated by the Belgian police, a malicious computer program allowed the aggressor to gain full control of the victim's avatar persons in the Second Life game and graphically committing violent sexual abuseDuranske Benjamin.

- unlawful return personality of dead people to the digital information space (uploading all the information about him / her accumulated up to the moment of death, adding to his / her memories of relatives into the algorithm of artificial intelligence), etc.

Moreover, cannot be ruled out the possibility of a new upper class of people or a new caste. Given that, not to all and far from immediately the results of these revolutionary achievements will be available. Only hundreds or thousands of people which will own some technology or the corresponding neural networks may find themselves on top of the world pyramid. However, the question remains of whether a digital person, as an ordinary human, will share modern values, because changing needs and lifestyles (eg., longevity or immortality) can trigger a change in value orientations.

Conclusions

Modern research in the field of bioengineering, the creation of living beings that combine organic with inorganic, and the emergence of inorganic life forms can significantly affect legal doctrine, including in the field of criminal law and information security. In the future, it is possible to take into account as an aggravating (Article 67 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) or qualifying circumstances the presence of implants that improve physical and (or) cognitive abilities, to formulate legal definitions and certain types of crimes. In them, digital human being (Homo numeralis, Homo digitalis, Homo Horologium) can become not only a subject of relations and offenses, but also an object of criminal influence and socially dangerous encroachment. It is predicted that digital human being will no longer be the human being we are accustomed. The possibility of changing in digital human being some values guide are not being ruled out. Similarly, the possibility of a new upper class of people or a new caste is not ruled out, when at the top of the world pyramid will be only those hundreds or thousands who will have certain technologies or relevant neural networks.
