Abstract

This study examined Artificial Intelligence in the UAE Arbitration Law. It specifically aimed to know whether or not the UAE Arbitration Law supports AI-based arbitration. Furthermore, it used the descriptive analytical approach to describe the phenomenon it investigated and analyze the related legal texts. In this context, the research was applied to the UAE legislation. The analysis focused on the extent to which the UAE Arbitration law relies on the modern technology, especially the artificial intelligence, in the arbitration process. The analysis of the UAE Arbitration Law for the year 2018 reveals that, in its current form, the said law does not support an arbitration that is  based on AI.
