Artificial Intelligence, Decision Making and International Law

• The question how artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML), impacts on law in general, and on international law in particular, has gained more and more traction in recent years. Ensuing debates have mainly homed in on threats and opportunities posed to law by this technology, and remained on a rather abstract level. Our text gives an introduction to the field of AI, decision making and international law, narrowing our focus to what we see as a critical area of empirically grounded and granular research in AI, decision making and international law. The overarching question for the special issue of which this text is an introduction to, is how AI, including AI-supported and automated decision making, might impact on decisions we take in international law. This allows us to track how technologically induced practice makes its way into domestic law, and, potentially, from there onwards into international law. Our text sets out some core tenants of this field, and argues that more nuanced and empirically grounded inter- and intra-disciplinary is needed in order to respond to contemporary questions and concerns of AI, decision making and international law
