This requires understanding of the legal nature of prompts (queries to AI) and development of appropriate legal regulation. The article aims to determine the legal significance of prompts and outlines the prospects for their research in the context of the interaction between law and AI. The study is based on the analysis of contemporary scientific literature devoted to the problems of legal regulation of AI, as well as investigation of the first cases of the use of generative AI models in legal practice and education. Methods of legal qualification, comparative legal analysis, and legal modeling are applied. Prompts are qualified as legal actions (legal facts in the strict sense), which opens the path to addressing the applicability of copyright criteria to them. The potential and risks of using prompts in legal practice and education are identified, and the need for standardizing prompts and developing specialized methods for teaching lawyers to interact with AI is substantiated. Prompts, as a tool for human-AI interaction, represent a fundamentally important subject of legal research, upon which the prospects for AI application in law largely rely. The article concludes that interdisciplinary and international studies are necessary to unite the efforts of legal professionals, AI specialists, and the generative models themselves in developing optimal legal solutions.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Развитие генеративных моделей искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) ставит перед юридической наукой и практикой новые вызовы, требующие осмысления правовой природы промптов (запросов к ИИ) и выработки адекватного правового регулирования. Цель: определить юридическое значение промптов и наметить перспективы их исследования в контексте взаимодействия права и ИИ. Исследование основано на анализе современной научной литературы, посвященной проблемам правового регулирования ИИ, а также на изучении первых случаев использования генеративных моделей ИИ в юридической практике и образовании. Применяются методы юридической квалификации, сравнительно-правового анализа, правового моделирования. Результаты. Промпты квалифицированы как юридические поступки (юридические факты в строгом смысле), что открывает путь к решению проблемы применимости к ним критериев авторского права. Выявлены возможности и риски использования промптов в юридической практике и образовании, обоснована необходимость стандартизации промптов и разработки специальных методик обучения юристов взаимодействию с ИИ. Промпты как инструмент взаимодействия человека и ИИ представляют собой принципиально важный предмет юридических исследований, от которого во многом зависят перспективы применения ИИ в праве. Необходимы междисциплинарные и международные исследования, объединяющие усилия юристов, специалистов по ИИ и самих генеративных моделей для выработки оптимальных правовых решений.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd><kwd>generative models</kwd><kwd>prompts</kwd><kwd>legal actions</kwd><kwd>copyright</kwd><kwd>legal practice</kwd><kwd>legal education</kwd><kwd>standardization of prompts</kwd><kwd>human-AI interaction</kwd><kwd>legal regulation of AI</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>генеративные модели</kwd><kwd>промпты</kwd><kwd>юридические поступки</kwd><kwd>авторское право</kwd><kwd>юридическая практика</kwd><kwd>юридическое образование</kwd><kwd>стандартизация промптов</kwd><kwd>взаимодействие человека и ИИ</kwd><kwd>правовое регулирование ИИ</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Belov, S.D., Zrelova, D.P., Zrelov, P.V. &amp; Korenkov, V.V.
