Abstract

The conventional borders of international law have been altered as a result of the introduction of artificial intelligence, which is one of the 
revolutionary technologies of the modern period. Additionally, many other fields have been presented with possibilities and difficulties that 
have never been seen before. The purpose of this research is to investigate the intricate relationship that exists between artificial intelligence 
and the framework of public international law. The research used a descriptive–analytical methodology and relied on documentary and 
library sources. The primary objective is to identify fundamental legal challenges such as the determination of responsibility in autonomous 
systems, violations of humanitarian principles in military weapons, threats to privacy, algorithmic discrimination in human rights, and 
intellectual property issues in works generated by artificial intelligence. These are just some of the challenges that will be identified. 
Moreover, the possibilities for improving legal procedures are studied. These possibilities include the use of big data analysis for the 
purpose of forecasting the results of court hearings, accelerating the proceedings, and promoting fair access to justice. According to the 
results, the current legal frameworks, such as the recommendations of UNESCO and the Artificial Intelligence Act of the European Union, 
do not have global consistency. Furthermore, there is an urgent need for multi-level and dispersed governance models in order to effectively 
manage risks. However, the danger of digital disparities and technological hegemony by wealthy nations continues to exist, despite the fact 
that artificial intelligence may lead to a redefining of notions such as sovereignty and responsibility. This is taken into consideration from 
the standpoint of foresight. The conclusion underlines the need of developing legislative frameworks that are flexible, ethics-oriented, and 
globally cooperative in order to strike a balance between the protection of basic human rights and the advancement of technological 
innovation. The purpose of this study is to offer a basis for future policymaking by addressing a research vacuum in the comprehensive 
examination of problems and possibilities.
