The Center for Arbitration and Mediation of the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce (CAM-CCBC) issued, on July 17, 2025, Administrative Guidance No. 07/2025, addressing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in arbitration, mediation, and other dispute resolution proceedings. The document acknowledges the potential efficiency gains brought by AI but highlights risks such as inaccuracies, algorithmic bias, challenges to confidentiality, and possible impacts on impartiality and procedural validity.
The guidance clarifies that CAM-CCBC does not currently use AI tools in case administration, and that any future adoption will be regulated through a new directive. For participants, the rule reinforces confidentiality obligations and encourages discussions on the use of AI, including disclosure requirements and specific contractual provisions in procedural terms. Decisions regarding AI use fall within the competence of arbitrators, mediators, or dispute board members, depending on the proceeding. Learn more.
