There is no doubt that technological disruptions have digitized dispute resolution processes. Like many professions, arbitrators, mediators, adjudicators and conciliators alike have had to make the shift to virtual or hybrid proceedings. This has included the use of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) in ADR processes, as well as embracing new developments in the application of Artificial Intelligence Based Arbitrator Robots (ArBots). Parties in dispute are now exposed to methods such as assisted arbitration, automated negotiation, online mediation, and online arbitration. Artificial intelligence also has the potential to wholly revolutionize the practice of ADR by completely replacing third party neutrals in the dispute resolution processes. Eminently qualified in the ever-changing field of ADR, Dr Kenneth Mutuma uses this book to showcase the number of challenges that have been encountered by ADR practitioners, and the practice as a whole, in trying to navigate these disruptions. Significant among these is inadequate, or in some cases, lack of legislative and policy frameworks that have stalled resolutions efforts. By using examples of investor-state, sports, climate-change, construction and commerce disputes, Dr Kenneth endeavors to make enlightened recommendations which will ultimately assist the country's ADR specialists when navigating the constantly developing world of technology.
