They believe their system will not only make arbitration faster and cheaper, but could eventually evolve into what they call an \u2018Arbitration State\u2019 \u2013 a private legal system that could handle a significant portion of disputes that currently clog our courts.<\/p>\n<p>Is this AI judge the future of dispute resolution? Or are there fundamental aspects of legal decision-making that require human judgment?
