From Overload to Convergence: Supporting Multi-Issue Human-AI Negotiation with Bayesian Visualization

arXiv:2603.22766v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As AI systems increasingly mediate negotiations, understanding how the number of negotiated issues impacts human performance is crucial for maintaining human agency. We designed a human-AI negotiation case study in a realistic property rental scenario, varying the number of negotiated issues; empirical findings show that without support, performance stays stable up to three issues but declines as additional issues increase cognitive load. To address this, we introduce a novel uncertainty-based visualization driven by Bayesian estimation

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of AI systems in mediation and negotiation necessitates immediate research into human-AI interaction complexities to ensure effective human agency.

Why it’s important

This research provides crucial insights into designing more effective human-AI negotiation interfaces, directly impacting white-collar workflows and the adoption of AI agents.

What changes

The understanding of cognitive load in multi-issue human-AI negotiations and the potential for uncertainty-based visualizations to improve outcomes is now enhanced.

Winners
  • · AI interface designers
