J.P. Duffy will speak on a panel discussion titled “AI and Technology Use by Neutrals in Arbitrations and Mediations: Navigating the Troubled Waters of Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Data Protection” at the NYSBA Annual Meeting 2026. The program will begin with a neutrals’ roundtable examining the importance of understanding a range of technology tools, including AI-powered platforms for virtual and hybrid hearings and mediations, established AI practice management tools, and emerging technologies such as chatbots and arbots. The discussion will also address the heightened risks associated with these tools, strategies for mitigating those risks, and how improper use of technology can be more harmful than misuse of traditional tools. The second portion of the program will feature two established vendors who will demonstrate available, proven technologies and explain how neutrals can be supported through training and built-in safeguards, including closed systems and secure cloud storage.
