SVAMC to Publish AI Guidelines for International Arbitration

Questions related to artificial intelligence (“AI”) in arbitration are increasing as generative AI tools become more commonplace.  In response, a Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center (“SVAMC”) taskforce has drafted a set of AI guidelines for international arbitration.  The organization reportedly plans to seek feedback and comments from its members before publishing final regulations as soon as September.  With its proposed guidelines, the SVAMC hopes to encourage collaboration across alternative dispute resolution institutions, technology stakeholders, and educational institutions.

According to a SVAMC press release:

The legal landscape is witnessing unprecedented changes with the integration of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Courts are already grappling with related challenges, from lawyers citing non-existent precedents derived from AI tools to judges requiring human verification certificates for AI-generated submissions. These developments underscore the pressing need to raise awareness of AI limitations, ensuring its responsible and practical implementation in the field of dispute resolution.

Renowned globally as a premier institution for technology dispute resolution, the Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center (SVAMC) is stepping forward to meet this challenge. With its focus on fostering practical dispute resolution in the technology sector, SVAMC encourages collaboration with elite technology companies, leading law firms, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) institutions, and prestigious universities in Silicon Valley and beyond.
