This event will focus on whether and to what extent AI is capable of legal reasoning and how is contributing to legal strategy in arbitrations today. Panelists will address, for example, enhanced reasoning and deep research models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tools, and decision-making mechanisms. The aim is to bring together arbitration practitioners and technologists to explain how these tools work and highlight concrete use cases, practical experience, and early lessons.
