This panel will dive into the dynamic intersection of cutting-edge technology and arbitration. It will unpack how AI is revolutionizing the field, from turbocharging efficiency and precision to uncovering new ways to manage evidence and deliver insights. Yet, every breakthrough brings its challenges – algorithmic bias, confidentiality risks, ethical pitfalls, and the ever-pressing question of keeping humans at the helm and in control. This discussion will spotlight how practitioners can wield AI’s immense power responsibly, transforming arbitration into a smarter, faster, and fairer process while navigating its inherent risks. Will they eventually become superheroes or not?
