I. INTRODUCTION

In the world of international arbitration, the quest for efficiency and impartiality in dispute resolution is paramount.  In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  has emerged as a transformative force, offering the potential to revolutionize the field. AI, with its capacity to analyze vast datasets, holds the promise of significantly benefiting international arbitration. AI may contribute to efficiency in resolving cross-border disputes, ultimately as an additional tool to contribute to the progress and development of international dispute settlement.

The use of AI may benefit in particular the work of Arbitrators because they often face the significant challenge of dealing with vast amounts of information. While Parties’ representatives and experts often work in large teams, an arbitral tribunal is usually composed of three members, very frequently benefitting from the assistance of a tribunal secretary. In the past, including recent years, there have been several changes in international arbitration that have made the fulfilment of Arbitrators’ mandates ever more challenging.
