Electronic Jurisdiction: The Concept by Oleksii Kostenko
As part of the development of the Metaverse-UA project and the UA-AI project
The concept of electronic jurisdiction, developed by Oleksii Kostenko, represents a fundamentally new paradigm of legal regulation in the digital era and the age of the metaverse. Unlike classical jurisdiction, which is grounded in the territorial principle, electronic jurisdiction is network- and algorithm-based, functioning in the space of data, digital identities, and immersive technologies.
At its core, electronic jurisdiction envisions a National Digital Code that regulates relations within cyberspace and beyond. It introduces digital courts and tribunals capable of administering algorithmic justice through immersive (XR) environments. Central to this system are digital identity and electronic citizenship, which replace traditional notions of territorial belonging with verifiable credentials and blockchain-based records. Legal processes rely on smart contracts, distributed ledgers, and infrastructures of digital evidence, including digital footprints and VR/AR-based event reconstruction.
Philosophically, the paradigm moves beyond strict anthropocentrism. While classical law recognized the human as the sole subject, electronic jurisdiction introduces the principle of metasubjectivity—acknowledging AI systems, digital agents, and twins as participants in legal relations. This creates a flexible and adaptive legal order that can respond to rapid technological and social transformations.
In practice, electronic jurisdiction implies: the establishment of cross-border digital registries; smart justice mechanisms for validating contracts and intellectual property in the metaverse; legal safeguards for digital security; and the application of law to education, defense, healthcare, and cultural heritage in virtual domains.
For Ukraine, this framework is of strategic importance. It ensures digital sovereignty, enables integration into global ecosystems, and positions the country as a leader in legal innovation. Moreover, it offers tools for addressing challenges of cyber warfare, hybrid threats, and transnational digital governance.
In conclusion, Kostenko’s electronic jurisdiction is not simply a modernization of law but the creation of a new transnational, immersive, and algorithmized legal system. It establishes digital reality as a legitimate space of law and lays the foundation for the future Digital Code.

Identity management in AI systems
Today, the problem of managing digital identification processes is relevant and is one of the main factors in the modern development of cross-border e-economy and trade. The issue is relevant in terms of application in AI systems and cross-border digital identification.
Identification technologies and systems are currently the subject of many experiments by intergovernmental groups, states, private international groups and commercial entities. In the future, we should expect many different types of identification systems based on basic technologies, as well as unique solutions for identity management in AI systems.
A significant difficulty for the development and operation of identity management systems is the lack of: a unified strategy in this area; socio-legal model of public relations; unified classifier of identification data; unified scheme of identification of subjects according to identification data; systems of subjects and objects of the sphere of identification data management; mechanisms for exercising the legal rights and responsibilities of entities, legal procedures for biometric identification, methods for identifying IoT devices and artificial intelligence, etc. The problem of legal recognition of identification information, including in the cross-border regime, also needs a special need. consideration.
The aim is to comprehensively study the theoretical and legal foundations of identity management in terms of digital transformation, to determine the patterns of their development in the era of digitalization of all spheres of public relations and preparation of theoretical substantiation and scientific development of proposals for cross-border development. legal regulation. Development of standard laws and regulations in the field of identification data management.
