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.
