Hunt ADR Responds to the CIArb AI Guideline (2025)

At Hunt ADR, we recognise that artificial intelligence is reshaping how arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution are conducted. The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators’ 2025 Guideline on the Use of AI in Arbitration is a timely and essential document that provides much-needed clarity and structure as technology continues to evolve.

We are pleased to share our video response to the Guideline, which outlines practical steps for arbitrators and parties and expresses our strong support for its balanced and forward-thinking approach.

The Guideline offers guidance on how to address AI in procedural orders, when to raise the issue during proceedings, and how to manage risks around confidentiality, fairness, and data integrity.

In the video, Gregory Hunt MCIArb, CEO of Hunt ADR, explains:

“This Guideline strikes exactly the right balance for where we are right now. It recognises the enormous benefits AI offers in terms of efficiency and accessibility, while reinforcing the importance of fairness, party autonomy, and human oversight. It’s a vital document for any practitioner working in arbitration today.”
