NLJ this week: Checklist on EU AI Act compliance for arbitrators

208708
As the EU Artificial Intelligence Act rolls out, arbitrators must get to grips and ensure compliance with its ‘robust standards’. Writing in this week’s NLJ, Gustavo Moser, independent arbitrator and consultant, and arbitration specialist lawyer at Lexis+® UK Arbitration, gives the lowdown on the Act’s requirements and its implications for arbitrators.

Moser writes: ‘Art 4 mandates AI literacy (from 2 February 2025), requiring practitioners to understand the fundamentals of AI technologies and their potential impact on arbitration.’ Step-by-step, he explains the requirements of the Act and sets out a checklist for arbitrators.

The penalties for non-compliance are set to begin in August 2025, so time is of the essence.
