THE IMPORTANCE OF USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN RESOLVING CORPORATE DEADLOCK SITUATIONS

Abstract

Corporate deadlock is a situation where the decision-making process within a company becomes stagnant, and strategic decisions cannot be made due to disagreements between management bodies or stakeholders. Such stagnation increases the risk of severe consequences, including decreased investment attractiveness, operational delays, economic losses, increased legal disputes, and the possibility of company reorganization or liquidation. This issue has been specifically highlighted in the agenda for improving civil legislation in Uzbekistan: the task is to establish mechanisms for resolving corporate deadlocks when owners of equal share packages disrupt the company's activities. The article systematizes the organizational, legal, and cultural causes of corporate deadlock (conflicts of interest, stagnation of corporate culture, low information transparency, lack of internal conflict resolution mechanisms). Additionally, it comments on contractual instruments used in shareholder agreements such as “Texas shoot-out”, “Dutch auction” and “Russian roulette” as well as legal doctrines explaining corporate disputes. As the main scientific innovation, the concept of “Corporate Artificial Intelligence Mediation” (Artificial Intelligence Corporate Mediation Theory) is proposed, which substantiates that artificial intelligence (AI) can assist in resolving corporate deadlocks by conducting a neutral analysis of the balance of interests, developing scenarios, and monitoring the implementation of agreements.
