AI and International Law

Law can formally be considered as an institutionalization of practical discourse on social norms, and so modern law in Western civilizations is positive by articulating the will of a sovereign lawgiver, legalistic by applying to deviations from norms and formal. Public international law portrays itself as an instrument of universal moral values, of human rights, and of justice. There is a shift from international law to law and globalization providing a new incentive for erasing the artificial boundary between public and private in international law. It is characteristic that modern societies are far more interconnected than societies have ever been in the past, and so with the advances of technology and infrastructure, networks have quickly become an integral part of humans’ lives. AAI technological advance unavoidably is altering human and social behaviors demanding an adaptation of existing norms or the creation of specific rules if the law in force proves inadequate or unproductive. Essentially, AAI will be a cross-cutting happening necessitating not only the establishment of specific standards but also the reconsidering of the feasibility and effectiveness of preexisting rules. Zekos considers that at the verge of humanity losing earth’s control, there will be a war of humans against AAI machines by immobilizing the AAI intelligence and arriving at zero point for a restart.
