How is AI changing mediation?
The 2026 National AI & Mediation Survey asks practicing U.S. mediators how they use AI today — and where the profession is headed.
AI is rapidly changing professional services — mediation included.
Mediators now meet AI in research, document review, drafting, admin and marketing.
That raises real questions: confidentiality, accuracy, privacy, professional responsibility — and AI’s place in a human process.
Will AI also change how attorneys, businesses and consumers find mediators?
We’re asking practicing mediators directly.
Four areas of focus.
AI adoption
How often mediators use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or Perplexity — and for what.
Ethical concerns
Confidentiality, privacy, accuracy, hallucinations, responsibility, the human element.
The future
The biggest opportunities — and risks — as AI gets more capable.
Any practicing U.S. mediator.
- No Mediate Lawsuit membership needed.
- No AI experience needed.
- Daily AI users and deliberate non-users — we want both.
