AI Summary

This bill allows parties in a divorce proceeding to use artificial intelligence-assisted arbitration, which is a computer system that applies laws to facts to generate recommendations or binding decisions on divorce-related issues, but it is not a legal entity and has no independent legal authority. This option is only available if both parties agree in writing to the arbitration and whether the outcome will be a recommendation or a binding determination, and if they do not share minor children. Either party can withdraw their consent at any time before a decision is made, and any binding determination can be appealed to the superior court, which will review the case from scratch, considering both the law and the facts without regard to the arbitration proceedings.
