<title>Articles: Crowdsourcing Arbitration: Using Technology to Leverage Collective Intelligence</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023002</link>
<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>This article examines
the use of crowdsourced dispute resolution as a means of resolving disputes in
an unbiased, evaluative fashion. The advantages of aggregated collective
intelligence over single evaluators have been demonstrated for centuries, but
coordination has always been a challenge. Now technology has significantly
improved opportunities for coordination, making crowdsourced online dispute
resolution (CODR) mechanisms much more feasible. The authors present a
framework for crowdsourced arbitration and then apply it to three case studies:
the Community Court at eBay.com, the crowdsourced justice system at the Chinese
e-commerce site Taobao, and the Kleros crowdsourced jury system. The advantages
and challenges of each system are discussed, along with conclusions around the
efficacy and utility of crowdsourced arbitration in other applications moving
forward.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<title>Digital Readiness and Online Mediation: Dedicated Online Dispute Resolution and General Social Communication Platforms Compared</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023003</link>
<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Online mediation
presents opportunities and risks for cross-border dispute resolution,
particularly for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which might not
have the financial resources or capacity to travel and engage in physical
dispute resolution fora. Online mediation platforms vary greatly from general
social communication platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams to dedicated
online dispute resolution platforms such as Modria, SmartSettle and eBRAM. In
this article, the authors explore the digital readiness of online mediation
providers through the framework of usability, reliability and accessibility,
concluding that for MSMEs, there may be value in choosing a dedicated online
dispute resolution platform.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<title>AI-enhanced Arbitration: An Analysis of the Guidelines of the Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Centre (SVAMC)</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023004</link>

<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>With the growing
influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal field, the Silicon
Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center (SVAMC) has introduced the first
comprehensive guidelines to managing the use of AI in arbitration, emphasising
ethical considerations and arbitrator neutrality. The SVAMC Guidelines address
AI from the perspectives of usage and established principles for its
application, and address challenges such as bias and privacy. The authors
explore these guidelines and compare them with existing frameworks from the UK
and the UAE, highlighting the SVAMC’s focus on maintaining arbitrator independence
and impartiality. The article also underscores the need for robust governance
frameworks to ensure the responsible and fair use of AI in legal proceedings,
promoting trust and ethical standards in the evolving landscape of AI-enhanced
arbitration.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>This article outlines
the benefits and essential components of virtual ADR offered by third-party
arbitration providers such as JAMS, with an emphasis on security and privacy.
We conclude by addressing the extent to which virtual arbitration creates due process
concerns or concerns about violating a potential non-contractual right to an
in-person hearing.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<title>Online Filings in BCDR Arbitrations
</title>

<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Prior to the COVID-19
pandemic, the use of technology in international arbitration was steadily
increasing. It was common for international arbitration practitioners to
conduct certain arbitral procedures remotely via videoconferencing or
telecommunications (for example, preliminary conferences or witness
examinations). However, the swift spread of the pandemic, and the global
lockdowns, forced the arbitration community to embrace technology in an
unprecedented way. Today, not only do experts provide evidence via
videoconference or telecommunications, but full hearings take place remotely.
This article will explore the use of technology in international institutional
arbitration and the way in which arbitration institutions have adopted electronic
services, specifically the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution (BCDR or the
Chamber).<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<title>An Introduction to Blockchain-based Dispute Resolution: The Emergence of New Procedural Designs</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023007</link>
<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>The recent rapid
growth of the cryptocurrency and cryptoasset markets utilsing blockchain
technology is generating a growing number of related disputes. These disputes
may be resolved through state court litigation, through conventional
arbitration, or through blockchain-based arbitration. The focus of this article
is on this last form of dispute resolution, analysing what blockchain-based
arbitration or dispute resolution is by examining the procedural design of
blockchain-based dispute resolution, analysing the reasons behind the design of
this type of dispute resolution, and exploring the extent to which
blockchain-based dispute resolution has been applied in practice and legally
recognised by national courts. Finally, it considers the impact of the
procedural design of this mechanism on traditional arbitration.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<title>The Metaverse and Arbitration: A Peek into a Possible Future</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023008</link>
<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>The metaverse offers a
new virtual world in which to interact with each other and could seriously
impact the way in which many economic sectors operate. Naturally, where there
is economic activity, there will inevitably be disputes, so even though the
adoption of the metaverse is still at an early stage, we can already envision
some possible implications for the legal world and, more specifically, for the
arbitration landscape. This article explores, in particular, the potential
types of disputes that could arise in connection with the metaverse, the
technological consequences it could have in arbitration, and some of the legal
challenges that arbitrations related to the metaverse could face.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<title>Expanding Access to Justice through ODR, and the “Digital Divide”: Is ODR the Cause of, or the Solution to the Inequality of Arms?</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023009</link>
<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Online Dispute
Resolution (ODR), an ever-evolving concept that commentators struggle to
define, can be identified by its use of an online platform through which
disputes are resolved. This article provides an overview of the key steps
involved in ODR and discusses ODR’s capacity to provide a quicker and cheaper
alternative to traditional methods of dispute resolution. While ODR may offer a
simple and cheaper choice that can facilitate the resolution of less complex
claims, it offers less flexibility than other types of dispute resolution
offer. The article recognises that while ODR may enable access to justice by
being less expensive than traditional arbitration, it cannot facilitate access
to justice unless parties have equal access to the online platform. Until the
“Digital Divide” is resolved, ODR is not a perfect solution to the inequality
of arms.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>

<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Public interest in
artificial intelligence (AI) and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has never
been greater. In part, this is due to recent dramatic advances in both AI
capabilities and public adoption. It is now common for AI to drive vehicles,
generate creative outputs and diagnose diseases. Claims that AI will
“revolutionize” and “disrupt” nearly every professional field are now
widespread, including the practice of law. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Interest in AI and ADR is broadly focused

<title>Navigating the Frontier: Assessing the Benefits and Limitations of AI Integration in International Arbitration</title>
<link>https://kluwerlawonline.com/JournalArticle/BCDR+International+Arbitration+Review/10.1/BCDR2023011</link>
<category>BCDR International Arbitration Review</category>
<description><p class="MsoNormal"><i>We are navigating a
post-pandemic era with increased use of digital technologies and an
unprecedented shift from traditional ways of conducting arbitration
proceedings. This has resulted in an unprecedented “dataquake” and a
significantly increased role of arbitral institutions in terms of, inter alia,
technological innovation. The possibilities of the use of artificial
intelligence (AI) in arbitration are thus increasing by the day, but still
remain ascertainable. Many limitations still exist, including issues such as
the concerns of confidentiality and data privacy, the absence of a legal
framework for guidance, and difficulties in the generalization of AI – to name
a few. To be able to accurately gauge the potential influence of AI on
arbitration, we must understand the fundamentals of AI, including both its
theoretical and practical aspects as they apply to arbitration. This article
will provide an overview of how AI could be transforming arbitration.<o:p></o:p></i></p>Volume 10 Online ISSN 2352-7374</description>
