Artificial intelligence and arbitration: technology supporting human judgment
Claus von Wobeser discusses the technological evolution of international arbitration, the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, and the limits needed to preserve legal judgment, confidentiality and the integrity of the process.
In an interview with LexLatin, Claus von Wobeser shares his perspective on the technological transformation of international arbitration, from digital case files and virtual hearings to the growing use of artificial intelligence tools.
Claus highlights AI’s potential to improve efficiency in tasks such as document review, translations, evidence management and summarization, provided that professional oversight remains in place. At the same time, he identifies risks involving confidentiality, bias, transparency and inaccurate outputs, stressing that legal analysis, assessment of evidence, strategy and decision-making must remain subject to human judgment.
The conversation also addresses law firms’ investment in technology, the training of new generations of lawyers and the need to continuously adapt soft law frameworks as these tools evolve.
