Based on the research, it is clear that AI has great potential for negotiation (Yang, 2025). Herold et al. (2025) suggested that AI can flag potential risks and liabilities, allowing negotiators to address them and mitigate potential problems proactively. AI can draft new contract templates by examining industry standards and past contracts, and AI technology can help lawyers spot errors and inconsistencies in contract drafts. In relation to risk management, AI can flag possible risks and liabilities, allowing negotiators to proactively address them and lessen potential problems, which can speed up the negotiation process, making the negotiation efficient because AI can industrialize tasks like document review, redlining, and finding potential issues, significantly reducing negotiation time. Lastly, AI can analyze vast amounts of data and identify errors, inconsistencies, and irregularities in…arrow_forward
