AI tools are already being deployed by counsel and arbitrators in a range of day-to-day tasks, offering the prospect of meaningful efficiencies in time and cost. At the same time, their capabilities remain uneven and their real benefits highly task-specific. Used appropriately, AI can be a valuable aid to practice; used uncritically, it may raise practical, procedural, professional and legal concerns.
This seminar will explore:
- Where AI adds real value in arbitration practice and where its limitations lie
- How AI can be used wisely and responsibly, with professional judgement
- The pace of AI development and the opportunities and risks of early adoption
- Recent AI regulation and guidance including from the LMAA (2024) and CiArb (2025)
- The approach to AI taken by the LCIA
The practical applications, realistic benefits and importance of informed and careful use of AI in International Arbitration.
