The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) assumes human-to-human communication, human agents, and static textual contexts. states rely on automated decision-making to interpret treaty obligations, does a shift in an AI algorithm’s data weights constitute "subsequent practice" under Article 31(3)(b), or is it an unauthorized, unilateral treaty modification?

Does a critical flaw in a state's predictive AI model constitute an "essential error" under Article 48, or does it fall under assumption of risk due to the state's own failure to oversee the technology?
