Purpose. Research and development of an economic and legal concept for the use of AI-technologies in mineral mining based on an experience analysis of their application in global mining practice, including assessment of legal and technological support. Methods. The research was conducted using a review-based economic and legal approach, consisting of assessing and analysing the symbiosis of positive and negative aspects of AI-technology implementation in mining enterprises. This paper reviews legislation using legal analysis processes, including comparative, systematic, and formal-legal methods, which ensure the regulation of AI-relations. To study the key aspects accompanying the processes of using AI-technology in mining enterprises, European, Ukrainian and Kazakh regulations were systematized, and econometric modelling of the effectiveness of using AI-technologies was performed to assess operating costs. Findings. The subject structure and principles of AI-relations, as well as the scope of application of AI-technologies in mining enterprises, which should be taken into account when implementing them in the mining industry, have been identified. Requirements have been formulated for AI-systems that are used and/or may be used in the mining industry. A group of barriers accompanying the use of AI-technologies in mining enterprises has been systematized and analyzed. The author's AI-Concept framework for the mining industry has been developed. A set of preparatory measures for the implementation of AI-technologies is proposed, and the directions and factors accompanying their use in mining enterprises are examined. Originality. A model of the AI-Concept for the mining industry has been developed, as well as conceptual recommendations for the creation of AI-enterprises, which, in the presented, integrated form, have not been developed in the legislation and scientific literature of the world’s leading mining countries. Practical implications. The research results can be used in the process of developing economic and legal relations in the mining industry. Conceptual recommendations will be useful in the phased creation of mining AI-enterprises. Their implementation will enable the resolution of pressing social-economic, investment, and environmental issues in the context of a fair transformation of mining regions.
