Supritha Suresh, Legal Researcher at the BCDR, has co-authored a paper on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and arbitration with Prof. Marike Paulsson, Strategic Advisor to the Economic Development Board.
The paper, titled "AI: The Modern Tribunal Assistant - Impact on Enforceability of Arbitral Awards under the New York Convention," is featured in the inaugural issue of the Jus Mundi Arbitration Review (JMAR).
The paper examines how AI can be used in arbitration, focusing on its potential impact on award enforceability under the New York Convention. The authors propose a classification system for AI's role in arbitration and address concerns such as level of supervision, accountability, transparency, and party autonomy. The paper emphasizes the need for collaboration among lawyers, policymakers, and AI specialists to ensure AI is used ethically and beneficially, while safeguarding the integrity and legitimacy of the arbitration process.
