ISDS Processes and Environmental Concerns While Harnessing the Potential of AI for Sustainability

This paper explores the potential of AI to resolve issues within the ISDS system, highlighting its role in promoting sustainable development and addressing environmental concerns. AI can evaluate arbitrators’ expertise in cross-border investment disputes, ensuring they have expertise in public international law and a background in the domestic laws generally. It emphases on help and determines if the arbitrator has a fair and impartial stance when adjudicating the case, rather than favoring investors or industries. AI can verify education, political affiliation, and remuneration, impacting fair judgement. ISDS procedures can use AI-generated papers to support sustainable development decisions. AI can potentially challenge environmental policies and compensation amounts, potentially causing conflicts with investors. It can also check false data, potentially influencing people’s opinions, a potential drawback in promoting sustainable development and addressing environmental issues.
