As the tech industry continues to experience rapid digital transformation and innovation, new product areas such as cryptocurrency, blockchain, and AI are giving rise to new types of commercial disputes. In addition, increased government regulation of big tech companies is expected to lead to a rise in tech-related investor-State disputes. We want to be fit for the future. It is vital for our growth to gather the expertise and knowledge of thought leaders in the sector to steer the institution in the right direction.VIAC LTTT has three main lines of work:Identifying specific types of tech disputes that are potentially attractive to VIACContacting tech companies to get an overview of their needs and requirementsAdapting Vienna Rules to make them meet the needs of the parties in tech disputesThe VIAC LTTT aims to analyse the impact of AI on transparency and disclosure obligations in arbitration proceedings. Both opportunities and risks arising from the use of AI in the collection and evaluation of evidence will be analysed.
