About

Michael Filzmoser is a leading researcher at the intersection of technology, human behavior, and organizational processes. His work primarily explores how artificial intelligence and robotic systems reshape social conflict resolution, negotiation dynamics, and creative invention. Filzmoser’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering study on mediation platforms, where he compared the effectiveness of a teleoperated Telenoid robot, a human mediator, and a computer screen. This work, which has garnered 29 citations, demonstrates that robotic mediators can achieve comparable outcomes to human mediators, fundamentally challenging assumptions about trust and rapport in automated conflict resolution. Additionally, Filzmoser investigates the emergence of "machine invention systems"—AI-driven creative systems that autonomously generate novel solutions across fields from quantum physics to defense. This forward-looking research, with 8 citations, positions him at the forefront of understanding how machine learning is revolutionizing the invention process itself. By bridging robotics, cognitive science, and negotiation theory, Filzmoser’s work offers critical insights for students and researchers interested in the future of human-machine collaboration, automated decision-making, and the ethical implications of delegating social and creative tasks to artificial agents.
