The ICJ's final day featured three main sessions: 'Using AI to Enhance Justice', 'Data Analytics for Justice Enhancement', and 'The Future of Alternative Dispute Resolution in Light of Digital Transformation'. Participating speakers included experts in the fields of AI ethics, data analytics, digital mediation, and remote conciliation, who shared knowledge and experiences on how digitally enabled judiciaries can create more prosperous societies and ensure transparent, accessible and equitable justice for all.
