The brief conversation focused on the role Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays in the legal landscape, particularly dispute resolution. There is no doubt that legislators, specialists, and legal experts must continue to work together if technology is to continue advancing and influencing arbitration in the future. Furthermore, the significant investment prospects provided by the bilateral commerce between India and the UAE, and the implementation of legislation reforms to improve the business environment support fostering a strong economic partnership. Overall, the inauguration ceremony featured an engaging discussion where the speakers shared their insights.
