During the inaugural session of the Indian Council of Arbitration's international conference in New Delhi, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant argued for the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) in arbitration rather than its rejection. He acknowledged that while AI can improve accessibility and reduce logistical delays in arbitration, it raises valid concerns regarding confidentiality and the independence of decision-making. CJI Kant emphasized that arbitration's legitimacy stems from the impartiality of human expertise, and therefore, a procedural framework is essential for the safe integration of technology. He cautioned against excessive judicial intervention, which could weaken the arbitration process and erode trust among parties. CJI Kant highlighted that modernizing India's arbitration framework is crucial for attracting foreign investment, as a stable dispute resolution mechanism reassures investors and fosters commercial partnerships. The conference focused on the intersection of legal technology, economic development, and cross-border disputes.
