Software for divorce now

charukesi August 13th, 2007

Software to ease divorce pains, says this article on Smart Mobs - i read through it looking for signs of irony but no, this is serious. (The researchers’) divorce software is designed to handle negotiations. ‘Family Winner’ and ‘Family Mediator’ mix ‘artificial intelligence, game theory and an electronic or human external mediator to help divorcing couples settle their disputes in a fair and rational manner.’

Well, I did find some irony - I don’t know whether it was intended - the post is filed under ‘Technologies of Cooperation’ - why the divorce at all then?

    Quirky!

    Have you heard of Gottman’s Love Lab? Spend 60 seconds with them and they’ll give you a statistically valid probability of your being together (or divorced) from your partner in the next few years.
