Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming international commercial arbitration from a conservative legal field into a digitally augmented dispute resolution ecosystem. AI-based tools are now utilized for advanced legal research, automated document review, predictive case analytics, and procedural optimization. However, this technological shift introduces significant legal risks regarding due process, confidentiality, and the non-delegable duty of arbitrators to exercise independent judgment. This thesis examines the current regulatory landscape, including the 2025 Ciarb Guidelines and institutional responses from VIAC and the AAA-ICDR. It argues that while AI enhances efficiency and accuracy, its use must be governed by strict transparency and human oversight to preserve the legitimacy of arbitral awards.
