Considerations in building guardrails for AI use in arbitration
Law360, Expert Analysis: The application and use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to become routine in arbitration, speeding document review, supporting legal research and even assisting with drafting. But as the boundaries of acceptable use are negotiated in real time, one theme is already clear: Arbitrators must actively manage and disclose their use of AI to protect the integrity and enforceability of their awards. John Laird and Ashley Riveira, both counsels at Crowell & Moring LLP, note that generative AI is becoming routine in arbitration for document review, legal research and drafting assistance, but emphasise that boundaries of acceptable use are still being negotiated in real time across the arbitration community.
