Vienna Arbitration Days: How to Deal with Biases and Cultural Differences and Other Practical Issues

  • Article Summary: The Vienna Arbitration Days 2019 gathered over 200 delegates to address cognitive biases, cultural differences, damage quantification, and artificial intelligence in arbitral proceedings. Floriane Lavaud and Edna Sussman report on discussions featuring tools like Arbitrator Intelligence and mock arbitrations to enhance transparency and mitigate decision-maker subjectivity. Panels explored how national legal training, cultural frameworks, and algorithmic bias impact witness credibility, evidentiary rulings, and overall procedural fairness.
