Its bridging of socio-legal inquiry and developments in information and communications technology will produce new international law and policy knowledge. Expected outcomes include better insight into the limits of automated decision-support techniques and their perceived legitimacy in different settings, and resulting reform recommendations, as well as building technology-related skills that are important for Australia's changing economy. Aid donors and recipients worldwide will benefit from changes in law and policy designed to ensure the legitimacy of decisions in humanitarian and development work.Read moreRead less
