Arbitrating to Protect AI: Considerations for AI Companies When Adopting Arbitration Clauses (New York Law Journal)

Goodwin partner Alexandra Valenti and associates James Breen, Timothy Keegan and Jessica Pauley authored an article in the New York Law Journal outlining how arbitration bodies like SVAMC, AAA, and JAMS are adapting to the rise of AI-related disputes by issuing guidelines and rules for using and litigating AI, while traditional courts “continue to grapple with the novel issues presented by disputes involving this technology.” The use and development of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) has accelerated exponentially in recent years, as companies rush to solve historical industry inefficiencies with big data solutions and shows no sign of slowing down in the coming years.
