Alexis Mourre Keynote Address – reform and evolution
Mr Mourre, Past President (2015-21) of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, and a leading arbitrator, gave the Keynote Address at the XVI Belgrade Arbitration Conference on 20 March 2026 under the title: “A look at the future of arbitral procedure: between change and continuity”, in which he reviewed developments in four areas.
How far can AI be used in arbitrations?
As in so many areas of our lives, AI is challenging international arbitration. While AI offers the potential for cost savings, the extent on which it should be relied on remains open to question.

He argued that arbitration is fundamentally a human activity with men and women applying their moral and ethical judgment to disputes. Relying on an algorithm to perform the role of an international arbitrator would amount to a kind of “dehumanisation” of the process.

It is still relatively uncommon globally for routine court hearings to be publicly broadcast on YouTube. Even where YouTube is used, it usually covers only a small proportion of the total hearing. This means it is extremely unusual to see an expert give expert evidence in court.
While there is a gradual move for some senior courts in some countries to livestream parts of the evidence, DIFC Courts are at the more innovative and digitally-open end of the spectrum, with a very high proportion of hearings held remotely and strong use of digital tools for access to proceedings and judgments. While many of the cases before the Dubai court are conducted remotely, this particular case required the legal teams, experts and witnesses to attend in person in Dubai.
In 2025 Charles was called to given expert evidence in a high profile commercial case in the Dubai DIFC Court (CFI 070/2022 – Paramjit Kahlon v Liberty Steel Group Ltd in the DIFC Courts).
