UNCITRAL Model Law on Automated Contracting with Guide to Enactment

The UNCITRAL Model Law on Automated Contracting is aimed at facilitating the use of automation in contracts, including through the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and “smart contracts”, as well as in machine-to-machine transactions. The Model Law provides legislators with a set of internationally acceptable rules to overcome legal obstacles to automated contracting. This publication contains the text of the Model Law on Automated Contracting and its guide to enactment. The guide to enactment draws on preparatory work within UNCITRAL to provide detailed article-by-article remarks to assist those involved in studying or applying the model law.
