Divorce is never pleasant, but new software is aimed at making the process a little less harrowing.
The computer program combines artificial intelligence, game theory and an electronic or human external mediator to help divorcing couples settle their disputes in a fair and rational manner—and hopefully with fewer gray hairs.
The new software is a fresh incarnation of a project going back to 2004, when Emilia Bellucci and John Zeleznikow from Victoria University in Australia developed "Family Winner" to help couples settle divorce disputes by focusing on compromise.
For example, even if both a husband and wife want to keep the family car, one will probably want it more than the other and will therefore be willing to accept greater trade-offs in order to get it.
