A Global Online Meeting

The AI Negotiation Forum 2026, organised in a partnership between Frontline Associates, Harvard University, the Geneva Graduate Institute, INALCO and DECRIPT, the European Negotiation Association, the Université de Sherbrooke and the AI for Good, is a global online gathering of researchers, practitioners, and diplomats dedicated to exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming negotiation and diplomacy.

Beyond showcasing tools and technologies, the Forum aims to:

  • Map the current state of innovation,
  • Identify opportunities and risks,
  • Define a forward-looking agenda for teaching, research, and institutional practice.

 

Featuring Interactive Sessions

The Forum will combine keynote panels, peer-led discussions, and interactive sessions designed to foster exchange between experts in diplomacy, technology, and policy. Participants will:

  • Engage with leading voices from academia and practice,
  • Share emerging insights, and
  • Examine real-world applications of AI in complex negotiation settings.

 

Applied Research on AI in Negotiation

Co-organised by leading academic and policy institutions, the AI Negotiation Forum highlights the ways AI is reshaping bilateral and multilateral negotiations.

A central goal is to identify the new skills required for practitioners—ranging from technical literacy and ethical awareness to adaptive communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration—while setting priorities for research and teaching.

Thematic tracks include:

  • Integrating AI into complex negotiations
  • Teaching and training on the use of AI in negotiation
  • Next-generation AI systems for negotiation
  • Learning to negotiate with and from AI
  • Responsible, accountable, and ethical use of AI in diplomacy
  • Impact of AI on trust, culture, and cross-cultural sensitivity
  • Risks of over-reliance, de-skilling, and alienation

 

Call for Contributions

The organisers invite proposals that advance understanding of AI in negotiation and diplomacy. Contributions may address conceptual, empirical, pedagogical, or policy-oriented questions.

Deadline for outline submissions: 20 November 2025
