Save the date - AI in Arbitration: Current Applications and the Path to Transformation

This comprehensive topic will explore the immediate and future implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for arbitration, beginning with the practical challenge of establishing clear rules: How should arbitrators deal with AI in their procedural orders? The discussion will then pivot to the efficiency gains from AI, examining both the client perspective (focusing on expected cost reductions) and the law firm perspective, including how AI's adoption may fundamentally alter the billable hour model and the best practices for passing on AI-related costs to clients. 

A key segment will address the impact on legal talent, focusing on the training for junior lawyers on the responsible use of AI and effective issue spotting. Finally, the topic will survey the application of AI across the lifecycle of a dispute, detailing what the tools are and what their use cases are, emphasizing techniques for proper prompting and the specific use cases for experts, concluding with a forward-looking analysis of what the future of AI looks like in disputes, particularly the potential and capabilities of autonomous AI Agents.

The 10 am panel discussion is followed by lunch.
