BACK TO THE FUTURE: AI AND
    THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN
   INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

"Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me you
built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?”

Long before Covid-19 locked the world down,
arbitration already had many customized DeLoreans
in the form of e-tools to conduct cases, though
they did not take off. Technologies were
underused and AI was regarded with a suspicious
caution. The pandemic has been speeding up the
process of widespread use of technology, as we
have been experiencing for a while. We wonder
whether Michael J. Fox’s famous quote suits our
days: we aren’t ready for that yet (or are we?),
but the next generation is gonna love it (or hate
it, if we do not hand it over smoothly). Still,
questions remain on the potential impact that e-
arbitration might have on the administration of
justice. We will discuss it with some of the main
experts on the topic.

INFORMATION NOTE

Virtual coffee break
During the conference the attendees will be offered a virtual
coffee break: a very interactive moment of networking where the
participants can chat with a special guest. After a short speech
on a specific AI-related topic, the special guest will have an
informal talk with the participants.
We encourage everybody to activate their video and to enter the
break-out room with a coffee/tea/whatever they like in their hand
to enjoy this easy-going atmosphere!
Add an additional flavour to your favourite drink by choosing
which virtual coffee break you want to experience! The
participants who register by 13 November can choose between the
two different break-out rooms:
1) chaired by Maxi Scherer - "AI and arbitration: everything you
always wanted to know and were afraid to ask"
2) chaired by Lise Alm from the SCC - "AI judges, the black box
problem and what that means for the rule of law"
Participants who register after this date will be randomly placed
into one of the two break-out rooms.

Depending on the number of participants, an extra break-out room
could be added.
