Why Choose This Book?

Artificial intelligence raises important questions about accountability, the exercise of power and the protection of individual rights. AI and the Rule of Law examines why established rule-of-law principles may need to evolve as AI systems take on increasingly influential roles. Written by Paul Burgess, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Monash University, Australia, this book is a valuable reference for legal professionals, academics, policymakers and researchers studying the relationship between emerging technologies and legal institutions.

About the Book

AI and the Rule of Law: The Necessary Evolution of a Concept explores the impact of artificial intelligence on the traditional principle that public and institutional power must not be exercised arbitrarily or without adequate checks. The book considers the development of the rule of law, the nature and capabilities of AI, and the challenges posed when AI-driven decisions operate without sufficient human oversight. It examines how legal principles and safeguards may need to develop so that AI can be harnessed more effectively while preserving accountability and protection against arbitrary power. The work is relevant to contemporary research in technology law, jurisprudence and legal governance.
