The Function of Artificial Intelligence in Arbitration for Resolving Virtual Reality Disputes

The rapid expansion of virtual reality and metaverse environments has transformed commercial, social, and legal interactions, giving rise to a new category of disputes that challenge traditional legal frameworks. Arbitration, as a flexible and transnational dispute resolution mechanism, has emerged as a preferred method for resolving disputes arising within these immersive digital environments. However, conventional arbitration rules were primarily designed for physical and territorial contexts, raising concerns about their suitability for virtual reality–based disputes. This study examines the adequacy of existing arbitration frameworks in addressing disputes arising in virtual environments and explores the need for specialized arbitration rules tailored to the unique characteristics of virtual reality.
