Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the legal profession and the practice of international arbitration. As AI tools become increasingly capable of supporting legal research, document review, case analysis, and decision-making, an important question arises: What will the arbitrator of the future look like?
This panel discussion will explore the evolving relationship between human judgment and artificial intelligence in arbitration, examining whether AI will remain a tool assisting arbitrators or could eventually play a more significant role in arbitral decision-making.
The discussion will address the opportunities and challenges associated with AI-assisted arbitration, including efficiency, accuracy, impartiality, confidentiality, transparency, ethics, accountability, and due process. The panel will also consider where the line should be drawn between human and artificial decision-making and whether the future of arbitration will ultimately be human, artificial, or a hybrid of both.
Bringing together arbitration practitioners and legal professionals, the session aims to encourage a forward-looking discussion on how technological innovation can be embraced while preserving the fundamental principles, integrity, and human judgment that underpin arbitration.
