What does it mean to prove something when a signature is binary code, a map can be falsified by an algorithm, and your opponent's evidence was drafted by AI?
In this episode, Richard Nicholas sits down with Bernhard Maier - arbitration lawyer, arbitrator, and King's College cyberlaw lecturer, to explore how digital evidence is redefining authenticity in disputes. They cover the forensic shift from wet ink originals to e-signatures, the rise of AI-generated submissions that are driving up client costs, and the global digital divide reshaping international arbitration.
Bernhard also looks ahead: with billions flowing into AI startups, he expects a wave of disputes in courts and arbitration when deals fall apart, systems fail, and someone has to work out who's responsible.
Whether you're a disputes lawyer, in-house counsel, or legal tech professional, this episode gives you practical insight into where AI is already changing your practice - and where it's heading.
