F. E. Guerra-Pujol (Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico; University of Central Florida) has posted Gödel’s Loophole 2.0 on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In my previous work I conjectured that Gödel’s loophole in the domain of constitutional law refers to the logical possibility of self-amendment, i.e. an amendment to a constitution’s amendment clause. Building on my previous work, this Article extends the general logic of Gödel’s loophole to two new domains. One is the field of artificial intelligence and a new proposal known as “constitutional AI”; the other domain is the planet Mars. Although as of this writing the possibility of permanent human settlements on Mars is still far off, several draft constitutions have already been proposed for Mars. Alas, neither “constitutional AI” nor the Martian constitutions are immune from the inexorable logic of Gödel’s loophole.
