With fast-evolving AI technologies, they equip mediation processes with the capabilities of rendering them quicker, more inclusive, and efficient. From reviewing and analysing documents to computing settlement chances and online dispute resolution (ODR), AI can be utilized for helping the mediators in dealing with higher caseloads and providing data-driven suggestions. This essay analyses critically the advanced capacity of AI in mediation, drawing a distinction between its true and theoretical applications. It examines the moral, legal, and practical facets of employing AI, such as algorithmic bias, confidentiality, transparency, and human judgment in emotive settings. The report draws from scholarly studies, professional literature, and expert opinion regarding how mediators can utilize AI as a facilitator, and not a replacement, and augment human capacity, and not replace it. Emphasis is given to the possibility of over-relying upon computer algorithms and to the need for sound ethical values and regulative frameworks. Lastly, this study holds that while AI is not to replace the human mediator, it will definitely redefine the mediator's role. Integration would only be feasible if there is ongoing education, interdisciplinarity, and the development of AI tools as an extension of mediation's bases of neutrality, empathy, and informed consent. As mediation's world moves forward, the practitioners will be prepared to adapt to a future where technical skills become equal to people skills.
