Wolters Kluwer hosted the webinar “Trust, Expertise and AI: Shaping the Future of International Arbitration,” featuring a conversation between Gary Born and Viktor von Essen on October 7, 2026.
As AI continues to transform legal research and practice, one question remained at the center of the discussion: how can legal professionals trust AI-generated insights in high-stakes areas such as international arbitration?
The conversation brought together two professionals who share a common ambition: improving the way disputes are resolved, albeit through different paths. Internationally recognized arbitration authority Gary Born and Viktor von Essen, CEO of Libra by Wolters Kluwer, explored the intersection of human expertise, trusted legal content, and artificial intelligence. Together, they discussed the value of authoritative thought leadership and examined how legal professionals can leverage AI responsibly while maintaining confidence in the quality and accuracy of their work.
During the discussion, the two reconnected to explore what AI can and cannot replace in arbitration practice, and where they each drew that line differently.
