Abstract: Armed conflicts increasingly leave behind algorithmic legacies, as artificial intelligence systems deployed during hostilities persist into post-conflict governance, reconstruction, and security practices. This article takes a close look at how AI is being used in societies of the Asia, Pacific region coming out of conflict and evaluates whether the currently existing laws at the international, regional, and national levels are sufficient to control such technologies. International humanitarian law, although it can be applied in theory, provides a lack of and scattered protection for the possible harms brought by AI in post-conflict situations. The article dwells upon the ethical and moral dilemmas of algorithmic opacity, accountability gaps, and enduring civilian vulnerability and it appeals for a more cohesive post-conflict regulatory framework.
