ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is no longer a distant possibility in dispute resolution, it is already here, reshaping how legal research is conducted, how documents are reviewed, and even how arbitrators manage proceedings. Yet, while institutions rush to embrace technology, a foundational question remains underexamined: can AI really ever completely replace the human application of mind and judgment that arbitration fundamentally demands? This paper argues that while AI is a powerful and indispensable tool in modern arbitration, it cannot, and must not substitute for the human arbitrator. Through an analysis of global institutional guidelines, landmark cases of AI misuse, the structural demands of arbitral proceedings, and the specific gaps in India's legal framework, this paper makes the case for carefully regulated human supervision over AI usage in arbitration. One that harnesses its efficiency without surrendering the procedural fairness that legitimizes the entire process.
