This academic chapter provides a comparative analysis of the legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in international law. As AI technologies continue to evolve, they are posing unique challenges to existing international legal frameworks. This analysis examines the impact of AI on various aspects of international law, including sovereignty, human rights, and global security.

The chapter explores how different countries are approaching AI regulation and governance, offering a comparative perspective on how international legal systems are adapting to the rise of AI. It highlights the fragmented nature of AI governance, with some countries implementing strict regulations while others adopt a more laissez-faire approach, leading to disparities in how AI is regulated globally.

Furthermore, the chapter discusses the potential for AI to disrupt traditional concepts of state sovereignty and jurisdiction, particularly in areas such as autonomous weapons systems and cyber warfare. It also addresses the ethical challenges posed by AI in relation to human rights, privacy, and the rule of law, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to create a cohesive regulatory framework.
