AI and the Future of Law

Live from MAICON 2025: Building AAA’s First AI Arbitrator

Can an AI fairly decide a dispute—and win party trust? Recorded live at MAICON 2025, this episode dives into the American Arbitration Association’s first AI arbitrator, a documents-only two-party workflow designed for construction cases with a human in the loop. AAA President Bridget McCormack explains the multi-agent architecture, why procedural fairness matters, and how the tool reflects a century of arbitration expertise. We also unpack OpenAI’s Sora 2 rollout, likeness/IP controversies, and the shift from opt-out to permission-first models—and what deepfakes mean for courts and the rule of law.

Topics covered:

  • How AAA’s AI arbitrator works (and when to use it)
  • Human oversight, speed, and cost gains
  • Sora 2’s IP backlash and policy reversal
  • Deepfakes, watermarking limits, and courtroom risk
