Abstract

useful concepts for risk management, addressing the morality of automated decision-making and evaluating delegation of authority to AI. Finally, Chesterman considers where existing rules and regulatory bodies come up short. He focuses on the weaponisation and victimisation of AI. For this, he argues that an international legal approach and harmonisation is needed to adequately regulate technologies like lethal autonomous weapons. He posits a hypothetical International Artificial Intelligence Agency modelled after the post-Second World War agency to promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Chesterman also examines AI being used in regulation, including in judicial processes, and even using it as a means to regulate itself. Ultimately, he concludes there should be a procedural guarantee of transparency and a substantive norm of maintaining human control—both to constrain AI activity and ensure appropriate responsibility. Chesterman’s regulatory roadmap is one worth following. Hopefully, human regulators agree, before the artificial regulators arrive.
