AI disputes in action series

This article series examines the intersection of artificial intelligence and dispute resolution from multiple perspectives. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated and autonomous, courts, tribunals, and legal practitioners face unprecedented questions about liability, evidence, procedure, and the fundamental principles underpinning our justice system. Over the coming months, we will explore how the English courts and tribunals will need to adapt established legal doctrines to the realities of autonomous technology, and how practitioners can prepare for the novel complexities that AI-driven litigation presents. Our coverage will address several interconnected themes including the use of AI tools and evidence in dispute resolution processes, key legal developments in AI, and the broader implications AI has for access to justice.
