*IN-PERSON!* ROUNDTABLE BREAKFAST: “Is It Clearer Now?” How AI Helps Mediators Sharpen Focus

ACR-GNY & CUNY Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College present

“Is It Clearer Now?” How AI Helps Mediators Sharpen Focus

This Roundtable Breakfast Discussion will be held in person - no virtual option will be available!

Like an eye exam where the optometrist asks “this or that?”, mediation guided by AI can help parties see conflict more clearly. Bob Bergman demonstrates how AI tools can summarize disputes, highlight inconsistencies, and map priorities—helping mediators reduce bias and improve outcomes. This session blends storytelling, live examples, and decision-science insights to show how technology can strengthen the human side of mediation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

While our Roundtable Breakfasts have been virtual since April 2020, we are pleased to host occasional in-person Roundtable events once again! Join us at 8:00am for breakfast and networking; the presentation and discussion will begin at 8:30am. Details will be sent via email upon registration. This event will NOT be accessible via Zoom, though it will be recorded and posted to both the ACR-GNY and CUNY DRC websites.

Since this is an in-person event, there is limited space available. Registration this month is only for in-person attendees.
