Artificial Intelligence and Mediation Ethics

Artificial intelligence ("Al") presents many opportunities to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility of mediation. More than that, it has potential to transform the nature of how mediation is practiced and what mediation is. While Al might not yet play a significant role in many mediations, there is widespread recognition that the technology is disrupting many established dispute resolution practices. What mediation will look like on the other side is unclear, but it will not be the same.
