H.R. 9715, Arbitration AI Liability Shield. Quorum's AI analysis reads it as a net cost — and names who bears it.
H.R. 9715 · Net cost
What it does
This bill permits parties in arbitration to use artificial intelligence (but not generative AI) to identify relevant law, organize documents, file supporting materials when facts are undisputed, and deliver final decisions — provided both parties consent in writing. A party that agrees to use AI waives the right to challenge an arbitration award based solely on AI-caused errors.
The analysis names arbitration service providers (JAMS, AAA, etc.) — and 2 more groups — among the beneficiaries.
The cost
Arbitration already limits discovery and appeal; adding AI-generated legal analysis with no error-recourse compounds opacity — parties may not know what law the AI identified or why, and cannot challenge it.
The analysis put a high warning level on this bill. Transparency scores 75%, and the analysis found no provisions unrelated to the bill's subject.
