I am a technology optimist. I believe that technology has the answer to most questions and challenges. And I have previously been frustrated that arbitration has been too slow to adopt new technological solutions. That is why, in the last few months, I have cheered on as technology has taken a few decisive steps onto arbitration’s center stage. While the pandemic has wreaked havoc on life and work as we know it, it has also resulted in the rise of virtual hearings and online case management platforms. Nonetheless, I cannot help but wonder: Is this maybe happening too fast?
Could international disputes operate as a governance tool capable of driving change in corporate and public policies for climate change? Maybe. As climate change litigation is on the increase globally, this development is worth analyzing from an international arbitration perspective.

The world we entered in 2020 is very different from the world we left behind in 2019. Covid-19 has changed lives, businesses and practices all over the globe. Most countries’ reactions to the pandemic, whether through lockdowns or restrictions, were put in place in a matter of days and the efforts to adapt to this new reality have been record fast in many industries. Arbitration is no exception.
The corona crisis is a multi-facetted crisis and for years we will talk about its effects and consequences for families, societies and the world at large. Did we rise to the level of leadership required? Were we careful enough? Should we have responded differently? These are all questions we need to ask ourselves once we are through the crisis.
Could Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) reform be used as a vehicle for change and climate change action? Given the investment needed to achieve climate change targets, we should carefully consider how ISDS reform might align with, and even advance, global climate change objectives.
I want to live in a world where all disputes can be resolved fairly by all relevant facts and legislation in a matter of seconds. Certain descriptions of AI make promises that one day I will. These are equal parts utopia and dystopia, but we are not there yet.
During a recent panel discussion which I moderated, we were given a fascinating example of interconnected contractual relations in a complex construction project, and how this in the end came to influence the complexities that needed to be addressed in several disputes associated with the project.
The evolution of technology has tremendous potential to increase the quality and efficiency of arbitration. Each possibility comes not only with new opportunities, but also with new potential risks. Below, I look at a few new technical opportunities and the challenges they could bring.
