- Challenges and finality: A party that uses or agrees to use AI could not move to vacate, modify, or correct an award solely because of an error from that AI.

New rules for AI in arbitration
If enacted, this bill would set rules for using artificial intelligence in arbitrations under chapter 1 of title 9. It would allow AI to identify laws and relevant case law, suggest the order, form, and relevance of documents, and deliver a final decision to the parties. AI could file supporting documents only when the arbitration's facts are not in dispute and there is a genuine question of law. The bill would ban generative AI in any arbitration and would allow AI use only if every party gives written consent and uses the AI. If a party used or agreed to use AI, that party could not move to vacate, modify, or correct an award solely because of an AI error. The section would not be construed to change existing arbitration procedures under this title.
