Artificial Intelligence in International Arbitration: A Practitioner’s Guide, authored by a transnational arbitration practitioner, regulatory expert, and legal scholar, provides in-depth coverage of the significant topics vis-à-vis AI adoption in international arbitration, ranging from the responsible deployment of AI in arbitral proceedings to a global framework for the regulation of AI in arbitration. As AI grows in global commerce and international dispute resolution, interest in its integration, governance, and enforcement in international arbitration is rising.

What is in this Book?

Artificial Intelligence in International Arbitration: A Practitioner’s Guide scrutinizes the legal, ethical, procedural, technological, and regulatory problems in the international arbitration landscape arising from the growing adoption of AI. Moving through the full lifecycle of an arbitral dispute, the book examines how AI operates in arbitration, its implications, and mitigation strategies for emerging developments. It explores algorithmic governance and transnational regulation amid fragmented rules and laws.

• The emergence of AI deployment in international arbitration.
• The technological dimensions of AI-assisted arbitration: critical appraisal of machine learning, automated systems, the trustworthiness of AI, black-box problems, and algorithmic decision-making.
• Opportunities and challenges of AI deployment in arbitral proceedings.
• Drafting of an AI-encoded arbitration agreement, interpretation, requirements, validity, scope, and enforcement pursuant to the New York Convention.
• AI-assisted and non-human adjudication, independence, impartiality, due process, competence, responsibilities and legitimacy of AI systems performing functions conventionally undertaken by human arbitrators.
• Responsible deployment of AI in arbitral proceedings, practical approaches to AI integration, human supervision, verification, disclosure, confidentiality and data privacy concerns, data management and risk mitigation.
• The recognition and enforcement of AI-generated arbitral awards pursuant to Article V of the New York Convention.
• Transnational regulatory environment from regulatory fragmentation to cross-border governance of AI in international arbitration.

Significance of the book and how it will help you

This book will serve as practical and analytical guidance for those who encounter AI at any stage of the arbitral process. Instead of merely treating technological innovation as an end in itself, it assists in integrating AI in a manner consistent with the legal and ethical protocols and procedural measures on which international arbitration depends, while helping stakeholders manage AI responsibly.

For arbitration practitioners and counsel, this book provides a framework for identifying AI-related risks at the contractual, procedural, evidentiary, and enforcement stages of disputes and for mitigating them before they escalate into procedural disputes, helping support clearer strategy and stronger risk management.

For arbitrators and arbitral institutions, this book addresses the practical obligations associated with AI-assisted arbitral proceedings by considering disclosure, verification, confidentiality, equality of arms, tribunal decision-making, and institutional governance, to support the responsible use of technology without compromising arbitral independence or procedural fairness. The book also highlights issues related to AI-generated or AI-assisted awards and grounds for challenging such awards under the New York Convention’s Article V.

For corporate counsel, investors, and business decision-makers, the analysis provides a framework for anticipating AI-related risks in transactions and dispute resolution. It highlights considerations relevant to contractual drafting, governance, dispute strategy, and enforcement, enabling commercial actors to make informed decisions in a highly technology-dependent global economy.

For scholars, policymakers and technology experts, the book offers a critical examination of the connection between AI, international arbitration and transnational law to explore the extent to which existing legal frameworks accommodate emerging technologies, and to identify new forms of regulation or necessary doctrinal development, helping to sharpen research and policy debates.

Rather than arguing for or against AI, the book examines the conditions under which AI can become a responsible participant in the future of international arbitration, offering readers a clearer basis for evaluating its role.
