Minds vs. Machines? AI’s Promise and Limits in Mediation and Arbitration

Thursday, September 11, 2025 | 1:00 – 4:30 PM (PT) | Booth Auditorium, UC Berkeley Law

Registration | Agenda

As AI reshapes industries around the world, what role should it play in resolving human disputes?

Join us for a bold, in-person program that dives into the future of mediation and arbitration in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Through a live mediation simulation and a mock arbitration hearing, top practitioners, technologists, and scholars will explore the boundaries of what AI can—and cannot—do in the world of conflict resolution.

You’ll witness human and AI mediators go head-to-head, debate algorithmic arbitrator selection, and engage directly in shaping the conversation.

Whether you’re a mediator, arbitrator, litigator, policymaker, or tech expert—this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

Register now and be part of this global dialogue!
