Abstract

The development of technologies in recent years, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), has transformed the structure and processes of arbitration. These advancements allow AI to predict new disputes by analyzing and comparing judicial decisions. Consequently, some countries are utilizing these technologies to resolve minor and small-scale disputes. This paper aims to clarify how adaptable the existing legal framework in international commercial arbitration is to AI arbitration.

However, AI as an arbitrator faces several challenges. These include the lack of precedents, the inability to reason and justify decisions, and concerns regarding impartiality and independence. AI cannot address the complexities and standards of arbitration effectively. Therefore, it is more beneficial to use these technologies to assist human arbitrators in resolving disputes. This research was conducted through a library study using an analytical-descriptive and applied approach. It examined domestic and international sources, comparing and evaluating the existing legal capacities in international commercial arbitration .
