The Application of Artificial Intelligence in International Commercial Arbitration: Technological Advancements and Legal Challenges

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is profoundly impacting the field of international commercial arbitration, bringing unprecedented technological advancements to arbitration procedures while also raising a series of legal challenges. This paper explores the main application scenarios of AI in international commercial arbitration, including the automation of arbitration procedures, legal research and analysis, arbitrator assistance tools, and online dispute resolution platforms. By analyzing the positive effects of AI in improving arbitration efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing transparency, this paper also delves into key issues such as algorithmic bias, liability attribution, data security, the role of arbitrators, and legal ethics. Finally, it proposes recommendations to strengthen technological research and development, improve legal regulations, promote international cooperation, and emphasize ethical construction, aiming to facilitate the rational application of AI in international commercial arbitration and drive the arbitration system toward greater efficiency, fairness, and transparency.
