Automated Mediator for Human Negotiation: Pre-Mediation via a Structured LLM Pipeline
Researchers have developed an automated mediator for human negotiation using a structured pipeline of Large Language Model (LLM) modules. This system aims to support the pre-mediation phase, which is often skipped due to cost and time constraints. Experiments showed that the AI mediator achieved preparation outcomes comparable to human mediators in terms of trust and confidence, while also demonstrating superior accuracy in preference inference.

IMPACT This research suggests LLM pipelines can offer scalable, low-cost pre-mediation support, potentially improving negotiation outcomes.
