BCLP Arbitration Survey 2023 AI in IA: The Rise of Machine Learning Nov 09, 2023. Download PDF. Read the full survey report – “For over ten years, BCLP’s International Arbitration Group has conducted surveys on issues affecting the arbitration process including cyber-security in arbitration proceedings (2019), rights of appeal (2020), party-appointed experts (2021) and the reform of the Arbitration Act 1996 (2022).   The topic for our 2023 survey is the use of AI in international arbitration. AI is a hot topic but, while there has been plenty of research on the uses and implications of AI in other sectors, there has been little in-depth analysis on the ways in which AI is impacting the arbitration world. We wanted to find out whether respondents are using AI tools to carry out tasks in arbitration, what tasks AI tools may be used for in the future; and where people would draw the line on the use of AI tools to perform tasks in arbitration.  We canvassed views on a range of issues including: the perceived benefits and the perceived risks of using AI tools; the need for disclosure of the use of AI tools; the impact of AI tools on the integrity of evidence; and whether there is a need for regulation. We had 221 responses to the survey – 54% were lawyers in law firms; 33% arbitrators; and 12% in-house counsel.”
