Wolters Kluwer: International Arbitration & Mediation’s Post

ICCA 2024 Hong Kong, held from 5-8 May 2024, was an exceptional gathering that brought together prominent figures in the field of international arbitration. The ICCA Congress has long been celebrated for fostering insightful discussions and offering fresh perspectives on matters related to international arbitration. Ms Winnie Tam SC, Head of Des Voeux Chambers, was invited to join Panel 15: International Arbitration: An AI Endeavour on Day 4 (8 May). This thought-provoking panel, moderated by Michael Mcilwrath and featuring renowned experts such as Christopher Bogart, Emily Hay, Rahim Moloo, and Maxim Osadchiy, explored the gradual integration of artificial intelligence into the administration of justice, and how it may shape the future of arbitration. The panel delved into topics such as the impact of AI on advocacy and decision-making, access and transparency, and the evolving skill sets required of participants. The speakers also examined the implications of these developments on the legitimacy of international arbitration. A strong delegation formed by members of Des Voeux Chambers attended this influential international arbitration event, further solidifying their commitment to staying at the forefront of the field.

🚨💨#Aiact “Promised. Negotiated. Approved”, as Roberta Metsola stated earlier today. The regulation is still subject to a final lawyer-linguist check and is expected to be finally adopted before the end of the legislature (through the so-called corrigendum procedure). The law also needs to be formally endorsed by the #Council. #aiact #artificialintelligence #fundamentalrights #innovation #euparliament #strasbourg https://lnkd.in/drWDf8S7
