About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be talking with Dr. Samantha Williams, an expert in negotiation techniques and the lead instructor for the new Graduate Certificate in Mindful AI Negotiation. Dr. Williams, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this unique program? GUEST: Absolutely, thank you for having me. I noticed a growing need for professionals to combine technical skills with emotional intelligence in their negotiations. The Graduate Certificate in Mindful AI Negotiation was designed to fill that gap. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share some current industry trends that influenced the course content? GUEST: Of course. With AI becoming increasingly prevalent in business, law, and conflict resolution, we wanted to equip learners with the skills to leverage AI while maintaining a mindful, empathetic approach to negotiation. HOST: That sounds challenging. What are some of the obstacles you've encountered in teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is helping students balance the technical aspects of AI with the more intuitive, mindfulness practices. However, we've found that incorporating hands-on activities and practical examples helps bridge this gap. HOST: That's great to hear. Looking ahead, where do you see the future of mindful AI negotiation going? GUEST: As AI continues to evolve, I believe we'll see more emphasis on integrating emotional intelligence into AI-driven negotiations. This certificate prepares professionals for that future.
