Artificial Intelligence and Big Data
Lessons from Evaluations of the Rule of Law and Development
9781803925660 Edward Elgar Publishing
This timely book explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data contribute to the evaluation of the rule of law (covering legal arrangements, empirical legal research, law and technology, and international law), and social and economic development programs in both industrialized and developing countries. Issues of ethics and bias in the use of AI are also addressed and indicators of the growth of knowledge in the field are discussed.

This timely book explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data contribute to the evaluation of the rule of law (covering legal arrangements, empirical legal research, law and technology, and international law), and social and economic development programs in both industrialized and developing countries. Issues of ethics and bias in the use of AI are also addressed and indicators of the growth of knowledge in the field are discussed.
Interdisciplinary and international in scope, and bringing together leading academics and practitioners from across the globe, the book explores the applications of AI and big data in Rule of Law and development evaluation, identifies differences in the approaches used in the two fields, and how each could learn from the approaches used in the other, as well as differences in the AI-related issues addressed in industrialized nations compared to those addressed in Africa and Asia.
Artificial Intelligence and Big Data is an essential read for researchers, academics and students working in the fields of Rule of Law and Development, and researchers in institutions working on new applications in AI will all benefit from the book’s practical insights.

Critical Acclaim
‘This book provides a crisp, clear, and compelling analysis of how artificial intelligence and big data are reshaping both legal research and development evaluation. By blending theoretical insights with practical examples, it serves as a valuable and timely resource for researchers, evaluators, and policymakers seeking to better understand the potential and limitations of these rapidly developing technologies.’
– Markus A. Palenberg, Institute for Development Strategy, Germany
‘The book offers a comprehensive and insightful overview of the potentials and challenges of applying BD/AI within the rule of law and development evaluation. It identifies several critical knowledge gaps, resulting in a well-defined agenda for research to address the challenges and responsibly harness the potentials.’
– Sunil Choenni, Ministry of Justice and Security, the Netherlands
‘Leeuw and Bamberger’s book brings together leading subject matter experts in legal research, the rule of law, (international) development, evaluation methodology and data science. The aim is to explore definitions, approaches and applications of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. The result is a thought provoking journey into our professional future.’
