JAMS is proud to participate in London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2025, with three JAMS neutrals, Tim Hardy, FCIArb, Joe Tirado and Stephen Townley, FCIArb, contributing to timely and thought-provoking conversations on the future of international dispute resolution. Their panels will explore critical topics including the regulation of artificial intelligence in arbitration, collaboration among dispute resolution professionals, and the use of AI to streamline arbitral proceedings.
As part of this year’s programming, JAMS is especially pleased to feature a panel with Jus Mundi examining how AI can be strategically applied throughout the arbitration lifecycle, an initiative that reflects both organizations’ shared interest in advancing practical and forward-thinking approaches to dispute resolution. JAMS is also excited to organize a panel with Ciarb and Gatehouse Chambers focused on regulating AI in international arbitration. See details below.

Just like in litigation, parties and tribunals are now facing the question how to ensure a use of AI that ensures that existing legal and procedural rules standards in international arbitrations are not eroded and if possible enhanced. The discussions will look at the role of the relevant actors in this field, notably tribunals, arbitral institutions, associations of arbitrators and the judiciary and who is best placed to deal with various aspects of AI use. We will examine the emerging rules and guidelines in this field and explore the need for further action.
