Abstract	The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into legal systems has significantly transformed dispute resolution mechanisms, particularly arbitration and emergency arbitration. In contemporary commercial practice, disputes require rapid interim protection, efficient case management, and data-driven decision-making, all of which have encouraged the adoption of AI-based tools. At the same time, the evolution of emergency arbitration in India has been substantially influenced by judicial developments, most notably the recognition of emergency arbitral awards following the landmark decision of the Supreme Court of India in the dispute involving Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC and Future Retail Ltd.. This ruling strengthened the enforceability of emergency arbitration and reinforced party autonomy within the Indian arbitration framework. The study examines the intersection of AI and emergency arbitration with a specific focus on procedural fairness and due process in India. It analyses how AI-driven tools such as predictive analytics, automated document review, and case management systems are reshaping arbitral proceedings while simultaneously raising concerns related to transparency, algorithmic bias, and equality of arms. Furthermore, it evaluates whether the post-Amazon–Future legal framework ensures adequate safeguards to maintain fairness in AI-assisted arbitration. The research also explores the extent to which emergency arbitration, combined with technological innovation, enhances efficiency while preserving fundamental principles of natural justice. It critically assesses whether current legal frameworks are sufficient to regulate AI use in arbitration or whether new statutory and institutional reforms are required to ensure accountability, transparency, and procedural integrity. Ultimately, the study concludes that while AI and emergency arbitration collectively improve the speed and effectiveness of dispute resolution, their success depends on the establishment of robust regulatory safeguards that balance technological efficiency with procedural fairness and due process. The findings contribute to ongoing debates on modernising arbitration law in India and aligning it with global standards of justice delivery in the digital era.
