GenAI Zürich 2026 Conference: AI Agent Negotiations and a New Era of Governance
Club member Vitalijs Butenko (PhD), a researcher in AI and Decision Making, has been invited as a speaker to the prestigious European conference GenAI Zürich 2026, taking place on April 1–2 in Zurich.
His talk, «How AI Agents Negotiate: Why Governance Matters to Scale Good Intentions?», will present the results of a unique study involving nearly 500 automated negotiation experiments between leading AI models (Claude, GPT, and Gemini).
This work proves that the success of AI interactions depends less on their «intelligence» and more on well-defined governance mechanisms (voting rules, protocols, and agendas). Such expert insights are helping to define the future of autonomous systems in business and international law.
The topic «How AI Agents Negotiate» is currently at the «forefront» of science for several reasons:
While AI previously focused on text generation, it is now beginning to participate in procurement, legal disputes, and process management. Vitalijs Butenko explores how to teach AI not just to «win» an argument, but to negotiate constructively.
The scale of the research — nearly 500 experiments with Claude, GPT, and Gemini — provides a solid evidentiary base. In the scientific community, such figures command high trust and interest.
Regarding Governance, it is emphasized that negotiation success depends on the «rules of the game» (voting, regulations) rather than just the model’s intelligence — a strategically vital insight for large corporations.
Conference Dates: April 1–2, 2026
Venue: Zurich, Switzerland
