Over the past decade, the development of modern technologies, innovative shifts and large-scale globalisation have transformed everyone's perception of the real world. Along with the huge number of benefits that these changes bring, significant challenges have arisen for both society and the state in particular. After all, government agencies need to regulate all spheres of life. The emergence of new areas and their continuous improvement and development necessitate legal regulation through the adoption of new relevant regulations, adaptation of existing documents to the realities of today, and involvement of the state in further technological developments not only in the legal field. Another important point was the consideration of the constitutional aspects of such legal regulation. All of the above determines the relevance of this research. Our goal is, first and foremost, to conduct an in-depth analysis and determine the role of the State in regulating modern technologies; to systematise the data on the benefits and challenges facing the State and society given the rapid pace of innovation; and to provide a detailed description of the fundamentals of the constitutional aspects of such legal regulation in terms of ensuring constitutional human rights in the context of rapid innovation changes. To achieve this goal, the author used a number of general and special methods of scientific knowledge, such as the universal method, the method of system analysis, synthesis, the method of deduction and induction, the dialectical method and the formal logical method. As a result of the use of these methods and taking into account the goal, scientifically significant conclusions were formed; including on the prospects for state regulation of modern technologies and security in the context of rapid technological growth, which will form the basis for further research and the basis for improving the legal regulation of issues related to innovative technologies.
