CJI Kant Advocates AI Disclosure in Arbitration
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant spoke at a conference about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming very important in international arbitration.
He said AI can help with tasks like managing documents and translating, which can make things faster and cheaper.
But he also warned that AI can cause problems with accuracy and ethics.
He suggested that when AI is used to create witness statements or expert reports, it should be disclosed to make sure everything is transparent.
He believes that having shared rules for handling AI-generated content will make the arbitration process more reliable and trustworthy.
The Chief Justice also emphasized that the core principles of arbitration, like resolving disputes quickly and keeping information confidential, should not be forgotten as technology advances.
