Abstract
This study addresses the concept of arbitration through artificial intelligence, a subject of growing theoretical and practical importance amid rapid technological advancements, particularly in digital transactions and smart contracts executed via Block chain technology. The study aims to clarify the conceptual framework of AI-based arbitration by defining it as an emerging form of dispute resolution that utilizes algorithms and intelligent platforms. It further examines the various types of AI arbitration, where artificial intelligence may serve either as an alternative to, or in support of, human arbitrators. The study highlights key advantages of this model, such as efficiency, impartiality, and cost reduction, while also identifying practical limitations, especially regarding its capacity to comprehend and address complex legal contexts. Therefore, studying the nature of arbitration using artificial intelligence requires shedding light on the concepts surrounding this type of arbitration, in terms of its definition and its types, based on the nature of AI intervention and the level of its adoption in the arbitration process. This theoretical approach is essential for understanding the general framework within which this type of arbitration operates, as a prelude to analyzing its advantages and the practical limitations it faces.
