SUMMARY:Alternative business structures (ABS) crowdfunding\, initial coin
  offerings (ICOs) and alternative dispute resolution (ADR): digital solu
 tions for resolving cross-border legal disputes from the inception (fund
 ing) to implementation of blockchain ADR?
DESCRIPTION:Crowdfunding websites are designed to connect entrepreneurs i
 n need of funding with those who have money to invest or provide. Differ
 ent websites offer different types of funding\, such as equity\, rewards
 -based or debt peer-to-peer crowdfunding. In addition\, the use of artif
 icial intelligence (AI) on crowdfunding platforms can enable AI engineer
 s to pitch their project ideas to investors and individuals around the w
 orld. They can also take into account the ethical dimension of AI projec
 ts. Only the projects that make a positive contribution to society and a
 dequately address risks will qualify for fundraising on the crowdfunding
  websites. These new business structure opportunities could give rise to
  new law ADR structures for dispute resolution via blockchain mechanisms
  or online dispute resolution services.\nThis session addresses the regu
 latory and other challenges and potential opportunities arising from cro
 wdfunding\, as well as the responsibilities of the crowdfunding organise
 rs and legal ethics issues arising from blockchain\, AI and ICOs in the 
 context of ABS. The session examines how regulation\, consumer litigatio
 n and consumer dispute resolution can co-exist and whether it should be 
 possible outside of B2B networks. Can this be a means of delivery of new
  law legal services to address the access to justice affordability gap?\
 nPanelists will discuss the new business structure opportunities this br
 ings to law firms or ABS\, and how they could be used in terms of intern
 ational dispute resolution (setting up ADR bodies) and enforcement proce
 dures.
