AI Augmented F2F Mediation
8 June 2026: 8am-10am, Singapore
This workshop focuses on AI-augmented mediation, where a human mediator conducts a face-to-face process supported by AI tools used before, during, or after sessions. The emphasis is on human–AI collaboration in mediation practice, rather than on automated or fully online dispute resolution systems.
