arXiv:2605.28369v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: E-commerce platforms have begun recruiting crowdsourced jurors to adjudicate massive volumes of transaction disputes. Unlike formal legal judgment, E-commerce dispute verdicts require grounding pivotal clues from redundant, multi-round, multimodal evidence and making decisions under flexible platform-specific conventions. These characteristics render existing methods insufficient for this scenario. To bridge this gap, we introduce a pioneering task, E-commerce Dispute Verdicts (EDV), and present VerdictBench, a multimodal benchmark comprising 6,0
The proliferation of e-commerce and the increasing complexity of online disputes necessitate automated, scalable solutions for adjudication.
This development signals a significant step towards autonomous AI systems handling complex, multi-modal judicial processes, impacting the future of dispute resolution and white-collar work.
AI is moving from predictive analytics to direct adjudicative roles in nuanced, evidence-based scenarios, challenging traditional human-centric legal frameworks.

- · AI development companies
- · Legal tech providers
- · Consumers (potentially faster dispute resolution)
- · Crowdsourced human jurors
- · Traditional dispute resolution services
- · Entry-level legal paralegals
AI models will begin to automate dispute resolution processes on major e-commerce platforms, reducing the need for human intervention.
The successful application of AI in e-commerce disputes could pave the way for its adoption in other informal and semi-formal adjudicative settings.
Public perception of AI's fairness and reliability in judgment will be deeply tested, potentially influencing its integration into more formal legal systems.
