Artificial Intelligence and the Future of International Arbitration Practice

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of International Arbitration Practice is a profound work, in an authoritative and practitioner-oriented analysis of the integration of artificial intelligence into international arbitration, which examines how AI systems reshape evidentiary processes, influence adjudicative reasoning, and challenge foundational principles of procedural fairness, transparency and arbitral legitimacy.

Adopting an interdisciplinary methodology that combines doctrinal analysis, conceptual clarification, comparative regulation and institutional mapping, the author advances a normative framework for the responsible governance of AI in arbitration. Among the many issues arising in the process are the following:
- how emerging AI regulation interacts with core doctrines such as equality of arms, due process, reasoned awards and tribunal independence;
- how algorithmic systems increasingly shape human reasoning;
- managing the roles of AI-assisted document review, evidence evaluation, predictive analytics, translation tools, award-drafting support and online dispute resolution;
- recognising algorithmic bias;
- permissible assistance versus impermissible delegation; and
- the crucial continuing role of human judgment.

The book’s scope encompasses a comprehensive examination of the regulatory framework governing the use of AI in arbitration, including the CIArb Guidelines, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, UNCITRAL developments, and institutional initiatives. Supplementary materials include a glossary of AI and arbitration terms, case summaries and emerging jurisprudence, and institutional guideline materials. 

The transformations examined in this book are already reshaping the way tribunals manage large evidentiary records, rely on AI-assisted summaries, interact with algorithmically mediated procedural infrastructures, and confront emerging questions of technological asymmetry, transparency and accountability. This invaluable book provides a rich practical resource enabling arbitrators and counsel to engage in these processes in a way that recognises ethical risks and aligns AI use with emerging professional standards and regulatory expectations.
