AI and the Rule of Law

The Necessary Evolution of a Concept

Paul Burgess

This book considers the ways in which the concept of the rule of law will need to evolve in order to ensure that the exercise of power by Artificial Intelligence (AI) does not become arbitrary and does not proceed unchecked. It presents the rule of law and its impact on the past and the present; considers what AI is, what it does, and what it might become in future; and looks at how AI will need to be harnessed to allow power to be  exercised more effectively in the future.

Paul Burgess is Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Monash University, Australia.
