Posthuman Feminism, AI and International Law

• This paper takes on the question of how posthuman feminism may be helpful as a theoretical and methodological approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and international law. It argues that posthuman feminism is a theoretical and methodological approach particularly apt for describing, arguing and analyzing international law in a particular historical context – in the posthuman convergence, which is to say at the height of technological advancement, ‘advanced capitalism’, and in the midst of the sixth extinction in the Anthropocene – as well as through manifestations of relations in terms of both material and discursive characters. Taking AI as its main example, the paper draws out underlying tensions and concerns in international law, showing how AI brings out the uncanny (Freud’s Das Unheimliche) in international law and its scholarship.
