About
Wolfgang Alschner is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of international economic law and computational legal analysis. His research focuses on international investment law, treaty design, and the application of artificial intelligence to legal drafting. In his groundbreaking work "Can Robots Write Treaties? Using Recurrent Neural Networks to Draft International Investment Agreements" (2016, 25 citations), Alschner demonstrated how machine learning can generate coherent treaty text, challenging traditional assumptions about legal authorship and opening new frontiers for automated legal assistance. This work, alongside his broader contributions to understanding treaty diffusion and state practice, has positioned him as a leading voice in computational legal studies. His innovative methodology bridges data science and international law, offering empirical insights into how investment treaties evolve and influence each other. Alschner’s research not only advances academic understanding but also provides practical tools for policymakers and negotiators. With his work cited across legal and computational fields, he continues to shape how scholars and practitioners think about the future of international law in an age of artificial intelligence.
