The End of Conflict

The end of conflict? Sounds impossible, like the lion lying down with the lamb. Well, what if it were achievable? That would be something worth striving for.In this groundbreaking book, negotiation expert Simon Horton reveals how artificial intelligence could end war, heal our divided societies, and improve our closest relationships.Humans know how to resolve conflict in theory but, in practice, our egos and emotions get in the way. AI, though, doesn't have egos and emotions. But it does have an ability to manage vast amounts of data and develop creative solutions to problems that can seem intractable to humans. And as it becomes increasingly embedded in our world, we will be continually exposed to collaborative processes, quietly operating in the background and win-win will become the norm.There's a catch, of course. Can we trust the AI? Can we trust the technology companies?Horton shows what we need to do to ensure everyone benefits fairly from the promise of these powerful new technologies.
