When Code Becomes Evidence: Proving and Testing AI and Tech Claims in Arbitration

Presentation

When disputes turn on source code, data architecture or algorithmic behaviour, traditional arbitral frameworks are put under pressure. How do tribunals meaningfully assess highly technical, dynamic and sometimes opaque digital evidence? How should arbitration adapt when the key exhibit is not a document, but a software repository?

This Bird & Bird panel will explore how international arbitration can be calibrated for technology-driven disputes in which code itself becomes central evidence. From the choice of an arbitral institution and seat, to the intervention of experts and organisation of the procedure, the discussion will examine the structural decisions that shape the quality and enforceability of awards in tech cases.

Bringing together the perspectives of leading arbitrators, experts and counsel, this panel will address practical challenges faced by clients and arbitration practitioners alike, and explore a way forward for thoughtfully tailoring arbitral procedure to ensure it remains effective and fit for purpose in technology-driven disputes.

This session will be of particular interest to in-house counsel in technology-intensive sectors, arbitrators, arbitration practitioners and experts regularly involved in disputes where software, data and algorithms are not background context, but the core of the case.

                      <p>When disputes turn on source code, data architecture or algorithmic behaviour, traditional arbitral frameworks are put under pressure. How do tribunals meaningfully assess highly technical, dynamic and sometimes opaque digital evidence? How should arbitration adapt when the key exhibit is not a document, but a software repository?</p>\n
          <p>This Bird &amp; Bird panel will explore how international arbitration can be calibrated for technology-driven disputes in which code itself becomes central evidence. From the choice of an arbitral institution and seat, to the intervention of experts and organisation of the procedure, the discussion will examine the structural decisions that shape the quality and enforceability of awards in tech cases.</p>\n
          <p>Bringing together the perspectives of leading arbitrators, experts and counsel, this panel will address practical challenges faced by clients and arbitration practitioners alike, and explore a way forward for thoughtfully tailoring arbitral procedure to ensure it remains effective and fit for purpose in technology-driven disputes.</p>\n
          <p>This session will be of particular interest to in-house counsel in technology-intensive sectors, arbitrators, arbitration practitioners and experts regularly involved in disputes where software, data and algorithms are not background context, but the core of the case.</p>\n

        When disputes turn on source code, data architecture or algorithmic behaviour, traditional arbitral frameworks are put under pressure. How do tribunals meaningfully assess highly technical, dynamic and sometimes opaque digital evidence? How should arbitration adapt when the key exhibit is not a document, but a software repository?\r\n
        \r\n
        This Bird &amp; Bird panel will explore how international arbitration can be calibrated for technology-driven disputes in which code itself becomes central evidence. From the choice of an arbitral institution and seat, to the intervention of experts and organisation of the procedure, the discussion will examine the structural decisions that shape the quality and enforceability of awards in tech cases.\r\n
        \r\n
        Bringing together the perspectives of leading arbitrators, experts and counsel, this panel will address practical challenges faced by clients and arbitration practitioners alike, and explore a way forward for thoughtfully tailoring arbitral procedure to ensure it remains effective and fit for purpose in technology-driven disputes.\r\n
        \r\n
        This session will be of particular interest to in-house counsel in technology-intensive sectors, arbitrators, arbitration practitioners and experts regularly involved in disputes where software, data and algorithms are not background context, but the core of the case.

          Dr. Richard M. Marshall, PhD, is the Principal of Concept Gap and a seasoned technical expert witness with over 30 years of experience in software innovation and design. \r\n
          \r\n
          A "battle-hardened" entrepreneur and former Gartner analyst, Richard has written hundreds of thousands of lines of code and numerous technical reports. \r\n
          \r\n
          He specializes in communicating complex technical subjects for juries, judges, tribunals, and counsel. He has been instrumental in securing over $2 billion in compensation for his clients, notably serving as the lead technical expert in the record-breaking Appian vs. Pegasystems trade secret case. Beyond IP and trade secrets, Richard’s practice encompasses high-profile confidential matters involving complex data analysis and cybersecurity breaches, where he deconstructs "black-box" systems to provide forensic clarity. \r\n
          \r\n
          When not navigating forensic code reviews or voir-dire challenges, he maintains his mental and physical agility by practicing Parkour.
