Divorce software sorts it all out

Divorce software sorts it all out Forget about lawyers - you might think that they’re all out to fight for your case, but win or lose, they still take a sizeable chunk of your money. And that is definitely something you need if you’re duking it out in a divorce case. Why not let a software to decide who gets what instead? This divorce software known as Family Winner and Family Mediator is a mix of AI, game theory, and requires an electronic or human external mediator to help divorcing couples settle their disputes without engaging in cheap name calling and physical spats. These programs are currently research prototypes, although it is moving towards the direction of being commercialized. Interesting, eh? One thing’s for sure - the losing side definitely won’t want to get the computer that runs such software.
