Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept in arbitration. It is already being used to analyse evidence, prepare procedural strategies, and assist in drafting submissions. Yet the rapid integration of AI into legal practice raises important questions for the arbitral process.

Is AI simply a powerful assistant, or does it introduce new risks for due process and equality of arms? Should parties disclose their use of AI tools? And what role should arbitral tribunals play in supervising the use of AI in proceedings?

This panel brings together leading arbitration practitioners to discuss whether the growing role of AI represents the next evolutionary step in arbitration – or whether it challenges some of the process’s core principles.
