[extropy-chat] Online Dispute Resolution

[Giu1i0 Pri5c0]

Legal IT has a very interesting article on the penetration of advanced
IT in the legal world.
Leading edge computing will soon provide massive dispute-resolving
capability for a fraction of today's price. This growing scale, added
to greater connectivity between users around the globe, offers
tremendous opportunities to build intelligent systems, i.e. platforms
that can adapt to their users' requirements and can learn from
experience.
Other ODR [online dispute resolution] services have been established
to effectively resolve cases themselves. Such systems offer a high
degree of sophistication in negotiation and settlement skills, often
relying upon artificial intelligence. For example, SmartSettle.com
uses mathematical algorithms to help find a resolution to disputes,
creating what is frequently described as an 'automated negotiation
tool'. This maximises the economic benefits to both parties by
creating a low cost process.
A world where people will be resolving millions of disputes online.
Disputes arising in human resources problems; education; in
relationships between government, the people and business; in
e-commerce and e-trading; in community and workplace disputes; in
business disputes with customers and suppliers; and, of course,
'big-ticket' global commercial disputes.
