The article reviews digital technologies that claim primary status in civil relations. The question of whether the digital component can be a participant in civil relations was considered. The problematic aspects of smart contracts and the application of the principles of good faith, reasonableness and fairness in their conclusion and execution have been studied. It was concluded that the development of artificial intelligence will lead to significant changes in many areas. Areas of law such as intellectual property law, contract law, and tort law must undergo significant changes to address the challenges associated with the development of artificial intelligence. One of the ways to adapt to the new reality is the idea of giving artificial intelligence the status of an electronic person, despite the contradiction of the whole concept as a whole. At the same time, if electronic entities enter into law, their interaction with natural and legal entities should be limited in order to protect individuals, strategic industries, national security and defense. The scope of their legal personality should be limited and combined with insurance and liability of those who created them.
