This session will first consider the evolution of mediation over 40 years from a fully “physical” event to a digital phenomenon. We will next consider how to best think about integrating AI into your mediation practice. With AI, there are previously unavailable opportunities for mediation participants to elevate their information base and understanding. To what extent should mediators work with participants to elevate their understanding of substantive issues and settlement possibilities with AI? Third, we will consider the future and how we can best expand and elevate mediation services moving forward.
