April 2024Guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence in arbitration, for all participants in the proceedings.

Artificial intelligence in arbitration.
How arbitral institutions guide the use of artificial intelligence, the principles they share, and what they mean for tribunals, parties and counsel.
Why it matters
Dispute resolution is a high-risk area.
Annex III, point 8 of the AI Act classifies as high-risk the artificial intelligence systems intended to assist judicial authorities, or used in a similar way in alternative dispute resolution. Arbitration that relies on such tools is exactly where independent assessment makes sense.

Shared principles
Three principles appear everywhere.
Human oversight
Decisions remain with the tribunal; artificial intelligence may support, never replace, its judgement.
Confidentiality
Case data is processed only with tools that protect it, with the agreement of the parties.
Transparency
The use of artificial intelligence is disclosed, and its effect on the proceedings can be explained.
