Abstract

With the widespread application of artificial intelligence technologies such as blockchain and big data technology, the field of international commercial arbitration is experiencing profound revolutions. The utilization of artificial intelligence in this field not only has acted as an important role in completing repetitive and mechanical basic tasks like drafting arbitration agreements and writing hearing transcripts. Instead, it is now playing a significant role in assisting with case adjudication. artificial intelligence offers positive impacts by enhancing arbitration efficiency, improving arbitration transparency, and reducing arbitration costs. However, it also has issues such as ethical risks, potential leakage of parties' personal information, weakening the "subjectivity" of arbitrators, and reducing arbitration accuracy. This paper proposes targeted measures to fully protect the personal information security of arbitration parties through legal regulations and technological measures, while consistently emphasizing the "subjectivity" of arbitrators. It uses artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool in decision-making, enabling arbitrators to maximize arbitration efficiency while pursuing "substantive justice."
