🌍 This is a timely and urgent question that deserves a strong voice in global conversations.
International law must evolve by grounding AI regulation in human rights principles. It should push for binding global frameworks that demand transparency, accountability and fairness from developers and governments.
Ethical standards must be enforced through clear rules on data use, discrimination and surveillance. Human dignity must stay at the center of every innovation.
The future of AI is not just technical—it is moral. And the law must rise to meet it.
We are working on this very topic right now under the ILA AI and tech committee. The first step in my view is to come to a consensus on what aspects of existing international law already governs AI. Then we need to implement ethical principles that have strong consensus into existing international law frameworks. Finally, we need to work on predicting novel areas where AI may cause risks that international law can mitigate.
The laws implemented should be aimed at punishing the offending individuals, not the countries. Countries don't commit the offenses; it's the individuals who govern them.
