Abstract

This article tracks a speech the author gave inMay 2023 at the 38th Annual ICC SIA QMUL Joint Symposium of Arbitrators, which focused on ideas to improve the international arbitration process. Arbitrators frequently complain about written submissions. Their most common complaint is that they are too long. They frequently have a hard time motivating to read them when they come in, if at all. While there is little prospect of written submissions becoming materially shorter, artificial intelligence (AI) may soon revolutionize the speed with which parties can produce them, resulting in proceedings becoming frontloaded. It may also help arbitrators isolate the material legal and factual issues and expedite the preparation of awards. AI is not a substitute for human expertise and judgment, but rather a tool that promises to augment human abilities and allow legal teams and arbitrators to work more efficiently and effectively. If you have yet to familiarize yourself with ChatGPT and the like, you would be well advised to do so sooner rather than later.
