Mediation & AI: Practical Skills for the Modern Mediator
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way professionals work – and mediators are no exception. From summarising large volumes of information to reframing difficult positions, new AI tools are already helping practitioners save time and work more effectively.
But with opportunity comes responsibility. How can mediators integrate AI into their practice while protecting confidentiality, avoiding bias, and staying true to professional standards?
That’s exactly what our new half-day CPD workshop – Mediation & AI: Practical Skills for the Modern Mediator – is designed to address.
Why this matters now
2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for dispute resolution. Courts and arbitral institutions are already adapting their rules to reflect AI’s role in legal practice, and clients are increasingly expecting professionals to understand and use the technology responsibly.
Mediators who can confidently demonstrate the ethical and practical use of AI will be well-placed to meet this demand. This is why AI in mediation training is becoming essential.
What you’ll learn
This interactive, hands-on workshop focuses on applied skills, not theory. By the end, you’ll be able to:
- Understand the opportunities and limits of AI in mediation
- Use tools like ChatGPT and Notebook LM to support preparation, case analysis and communication
- Recognise ethical and confidentiality considerations when using AI
- Practise reframing, reality testing, and option generation with AI support
- Leave with a prompt bank, workflows, and resources you can use immediately in your own mediations
