Artificial Intelligence can analyse thousands of data points in seconds. It can detect patterns, predict outcomes, and support important decisions. But does that mean AI always makes better decisions than humans? AI decision making….
A company’s AI system recommended rejecting a job applicant based on historical hiring data. During the final interview, however, a manager recognized qualities the algorithm couldn’t measure.
