10.3 Future There has been no official recognition of AI by the courts and it remains an emerging area. One of the most significant potential benefits of AI in BVI dispute resolution is the reduction of cost and time associated with commercial litigation. The BVI Commercial Court handles high-value, complex international disputes, and legal costs can be substantial. AI-assisted docu- ment review, research, and drafting has the potential to compress timelines and reduce the cost burden on parties, which may in turn improve access to meritori- ous claims that might otherwise be uneconomical to pursue. This is particularly relevant in the context of third-party litigation funding in the BVI, where funders conduct rigorous due diligence on the merits and costs of a case before committing to fund it. AI tools that can accelerate and sharpen that analysis may increase the availability of funding to meritorious claimants.
