TECHNOLOGY - DRIVEN ARBITRATION: EFFICIENCY, TRANSPARENCY AND DUE PROCESS

Abstract

Technology has fundamentally transformed dispute resolution mechanisms, particularly in arbitration. This paper examines the transformation and impact of technology on international arbitration, focusing on three core pillars: efficiency, transparency, and due process. By analysing recent developments in digital tools, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and virtual hearings, the study evaluates how technology enhances procedural speed, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility, while also strengthening transparency and safeguarding fundamental rights. The paper further addresses the legal, ethical, and practical challenges arising from the integration of technology in arbitration, offering recommendations for future best practices. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of current practices, identifies gaps, and proposes frameworks for optimal technology implementation in arbitration.

The analysis draws on authoritative sources, including ICC reports, academic studies, and industry white papers, to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of technology-driven arbitration.
