Why The AI Arbitrator is Capturing Attention

In Episode 19 of the AAAi Podcast, hosts Bridget McCormack and Zach Abramowitz discuss why the AI Arbitrator is gaining mainstream attention and why governance, not hype, is the real driver of AI adoption. They examine why technology is now the primary strategic focus for 38% of CLOs, unpack the "Walmart model" of intelligent application, and explain how the American Arbitration Association is using agentic systems to expand dispute resolution options. The episode also explores what responsible AI deployment looks like in 2026 and previews Bridget's upcoming Legalweek panel, "Trust Is the Product," featuring leaders from OpenAI, Moderna, and Freshfields.
