An Artificial Partner in Decision Making | The Evolution of AI & Humans

Are The Robots Taking Over?

No…not yet. However, the world is changing, and we have the technology to make it a better place. Whether its climate change or human rights, AI can help us make smart decisions that improve our future. Journey along with us as we explore how decision making can benefit from using AI and why we should consider implementing it in our company’s strategic planning processes.

What Exactly is AI?

AI is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but it’s not always clear what it means. AI refers to computer systems that act intelligently and are able to learn from experience. Artificial intelligence can be categorized into three types:

• Narrow (or weak) AI–systems that have been programmed with specific tasks in mind, such as playing chess or driving cars on public roads (these systems don’t have the ability to learn new skills).
• General (or strong) AI–computers capable of performing all intellectual tasks better than humans do; this includes reasoning and problem solving abilities along with emotional intelligence (the ability for machines to understand human emotions). This type of machine may one day pass the Turing Test for machine consciousness–a test developed by Alan Turing in 1950 which measures how well an entity communicates via natural language processing capabilities alone without any prior knowledge about its subject matter expertise before conducting conversations with them through text-based interactions over either email or instant messaging platforms like Skype Messenger Service.

Decision Making in The Age of AI

With great power, comes great responsibility. AI is a tool that can help us make better and faster decisions, but it’s not a substitute for human intelligence. The key is knowing how to use AI as part of your decision-making process.

Sadly, for some, AI will not be able to make all of our decisions for us, but it can help us make better ones by providing access to data and insights that would otherwise be unavailable. AI-driven decision making is still in its infancy; however, we have already seen significant gains in productivity across industries ranging from healthcare to finance through this technology-enabled approach.’

AI can help us remove human error from our decision-making and make it more efficient, but it is still a tool that requires human skill and oversight. Human error is a major cause of mistakes in business. In fact, 70% of all data breaches are due to human error1–and this doesn’t even account for mistakes made by machines!

It also has the potential to reduce these errors by automating many routine tasks and enabling humans to focus on higher value tasks that require judgment and insight. By enabling companies’ employees with AI-powered tools at their disposal, businesses can ensure that they are making the best possible decisions at every turn.

Why Do We Make Bad Decisions?

One reason we make bad decisions is because of our own biases. Bias is a tendency to favor one thing over another, even when there’s no logical reason for doing so. A common example of bias in decision making is confirmation bias: people tend to look for information that supports their existing beliefs and ignore data that contradicts them. Confirmation bias can lead you down the wrong path if you’re trying to make an objective decision based on facts alone, but it also has its benefits–it helps us arrive at conclusions quickly when we need them quickly!

Another reason why humans tend toward bad decisions? Overconfidence in our abilities and knowledge (or lack thereof), which can lead us astray during important strategic discussions or negotiations with others about what’s best for your business moving forward – especially when those other parties are AI-driven systems like ours! You may think “I’m really good at making decisions!”, but did you know that studies show 90%+ of executives believe themselves better than average at making them? Do yourself a favor and take an honest look at whether or not this statement applies equally well across all areas/types/levels within your organization before deciding whether or not something should change based on its results alone…

Using AI to Make Better and Faster Decisions

AI can help us remove human error from our decision-making, but it’s still a tool that requires human skill and oversight. One of the most common ways AI is used is to improve the way we make decisions with the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze data, identify patterns and recommend solutions.

For example, if you’re trying to decide which products are most likely going to sell well at your store next week based on past sales data and customer preferences–so you can plan accordingly–you could use machine learning algorithms on that information in order to predict which products should be stocked more heavily or less so (or whether there are any other items worth considering).

What Are the Limitations of AI?

AI is still a young technology, and it has some limitations. For example:

• AI can only solve problems it has been trained to solve. If you want your AI to make decisions about something new or unexpected, you’ll need to train it with additional data from that situation.
• It can only learn from past data, not predict the future (at least not yet). This means that if you have no historical data available for your problem area–or if all of the data consists of outliers or anomalies–your system will struggle when trying to make predictions about future outcomes based on past performance alone.

Prepare for Launch – Implementing AI in Your Decision Making

To ensure a successful implementation of AI in decision making, it’s important to understand the following:

• Understanding the Data – The first step is understanding your data and its quality. You need an accurate picture of what you have, how much there is and what formats it comes in. This includes both structured and unstructured data sources such as transactional systems, social media posts or machine-readable documents like invoices or bills of lading (BOL).
• Understanding Business Problem – Next comes understanding why you are trying to solve this problem with AI? Is it because there are too many decisions being made by humans today so they can’t keep up with demand? Or perhaps there’s a lack of consensus on which decisions should be automated because no one person has all the necessary information at hand at any given time? In some cases, companies may even want their employees trained on using machine learning tools so they won’t need someone else working on these tasks full time anymore.”

So, What’s Next?

As we have seen, AI can be a powerful tool for decision making. It’s important to remember that it is only one part of a larger strategy, however. You need to understand the limitations of this technology and make sure that you have the resources in place to support its implementation. You also need strong leadership skills and an understanding of how AI works so that you can guide your team through the process while making sure they don’t miss any important details along the way!
