Targets: The use of new technologies, in particular artificial intelligence in the judiciary and alternative methods of resolving commercial disputes, will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the judiciary. New technologies will contribute to speeding up business proceedings. As a first step, artificial intelligence should be applied where human action is routine and repetitive, e.g. making changes to court registers. In addition, artificial intelligence can be successfully applied to analyse the facts of a case, adjust the relevant rules to it and assess the chances of winning a dispute. Before using AI in the settlement of court cases, one should first look for opportunities to use AI in situations where it will help citizens, e.g. providing information on how to handle a case in an office or court. The panel discussion will cover all the topics identified above, the implementation of which leads to higher levels of economic efficiency.

Description

The panel will address the very topical and widely discussed (especially in the United States and Western European countries) topic of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in commercial proceedings, particularly in the resolution of disputes between entrepreneurs. AI in the judiciary can be implemented in many areas, above all AI can be successfully applied to:  improving the organisation of court operations and communication with parties;  analysis of large data sets by AI;  predictive application of AI;  sentencing by AI. The most promising area of application of AI in ADR is to use it to analyse the facts in the context of the applicable rules, assess them and suggest a possible settlement of the dispute. Which will result in the mediator or arbitral court being able to focus primarily on the issues in dispute. The factual analysis model in the context of the applicable legal framework can also be used by law firms to streamline the time-consuming analysis. The aim of the panel is to identify the opportunities and benefits that the implementation of AI can bring to business proceedings, including alternative dispute resolution (ADR), in particular arbitration. In particular, the discussion will focus on seeking answers to the question of whether the implementation of AI in the judiciary and in ADR can improve and speed up proceedings in commercial cases. In addition, the panelists will try to summarise what challenges the implementation of AI will entail and what benefits this implementation may bring to businesses.

As part of the session, the organisers envisage the possibility of active participation both onsite and online. The organisers anticipate that anyone interested in listening will be able to ask questions of the panellists. In particular, anyone listening can ask questions in real time in the meeting's chat room. The online moderator will oversee the questions and ask them of the panellist.
