Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming economies, societies, and geopolitics. Enabled by the exponential increase of data that is collected, transmitted, and processed transnationally, these changes have important implications for international economic law (IEL). This edited volume examines the dynamic interplay between AI and IEL by addressing an array of critical new questions, including: How to conceptualize, categorize, and analyze AI for purposes of IEL? How is AI affecting established concepts and rubrics of IEL? Is there a need to reconfigure IEL, and if so, how? Contributors also respond to other cross-cutting issues, including digital inequality, data protection, algorithms and ethics, the regulation of AI-use cases (autonomous vehicles), and systemic shifts in e-commerce (digital trade) and industrial production (fourth industrial revolution).

A book review by Anupam Chander and Noelle Wurst has been published by the Journal of International Economic Law. They conclude: “This book is an important contribution to our understanding of the way that international economic law governs AI. It will certainly be a foundational text for future work."
A further book review by Gabrielle Marceau and Federico Daniele has been published by the World Trade Review. They say: “… Artificial Intelligence and International Economic Law promises to become a seminal work on AI and international law and to open the path for future research and publishing on the matter."
