The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this short piece, Mauricio Figueroa argues that the approach of Public International Law to AI regulation, primarily placing the responsibility on states to ensure compliance, fails to address Big Tech and the significant disparities in enforcement capacities across different countries. This is due to its disengagement with political economy frameworks.
