THE TRANSFORMATION OF MARKET RELATIONS AMID THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Literally over the past two years, an innovative switch has taken place from artificial intelligence (hereinafter AI) as a “tool” for productivity growth to AI as an independent employee, whose authority includes the ability to autonomously make economically sound decisions, conclude economic relations, etc. To date, domestic experts and organizations have noted the dynamic development of AI agents in the Russian economic segment. Nevertheless, the theoretical review of this phenomenon remains at the stage of its initial development. As a result of the work carried out, four fundamental courses of improving the economy through the influence of AI assistants will be clearly defined: a change in market interactions due to the introduction of AI agents from both sides of economic interaction; the aspect of programmatic coordination and the possible presence of collusion; new types of risks resulting from this; transformation of organizational boundaries and new organizational challenges. The objectives of this scientific article include the structuring of conceptual methods for evaluating a variety of AI assistants and the establishment of leading courses for the transformation of market apparatuses and institutions within the framework of such a rapid development of AI. As for the research methods, they certainly include the analysis and coupling of both domestic and foreign scientific research in this field; paradigms of institutional economic theory, comparative assessment. The results of the development can serve as a material for updating antimonopoly management and creating an institutional economic space for AI assistants in the Russian Federation.
