Additional text
'The set of technologies included in AI present existential and more ordinary threats, in addition to utopian opportunities. These technologies, and their threats, are global, and will therefore require regulatory coordination among states through international law, and will also challenge settled rules of international economic law. This volume, with exciting and trenchant chapters written by a dream team of authors, illuminates our path to the future.' Joel P. Trachtman, Professor of International Law, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University
