AI decision-making: Where do businesses draw the line?
- As AI is increasingly deployed, who is held accountable if it makes poor choices? This shift has led to an uptick in AI decision-making that leverages intelligent tools to arrive at accurate answers. Approaches to decision-making must account for ethical considerations, determine levels of risk, and prioritize trust. Ultimately, current conditions create blurry lines regarding accountability where AI usage has outpaced legislation. Regardless of each company's approach to utilizing AI, the core principle remains that for AI-driven decisions, there's no hard-and-fast line that's defined by risk, reward, and outcomes.
- According to the IBM Global AI Adoption Index 2023, 42% of enterprises have actively deployed AI, and 40% are experimenting with the technology. Of those using AI, 59% have accelerated their investments. Data from IBM's recent AI in Action report shows leaders stating that AI has driven more than a 25% improvement in revenue growth rates, and 72% say that the C-suite is fully aligned with IT leadership about what comes next.
- As a result, how AI is used in decision-making depends largely on what it’s making decisions about and how these decisions impact both the company making the decisions and those the decision affects. When it comes to high stakes, look at the medical industry.
- For some companies, even the worst-case scenario is a minor inconvenience whereas, in others, the results could cause significant harm. In April 2024, a Tesla operating in “full self-driving” mode struck and killed a motorcyclist. The driver is the obvious choice and was arrested on charges of vehicular homicide.
- This is the paradox of AI decision-making: Is someone at fault, or is everyone? Ensuring alignment with ethical principles, reducing the risk of wrong choices, and engendering stakeholder and customer trust is needed. Businesses are best served by keeping humans in the loop. When it comes to AI-driven decisions, there's no hard-and-fast line. It’s a moving target, one defined by possible risk, potential reward, and probable outcomes.
- When it comes to ethical dilemmas, AI cannot do it. Any decision involving ethical questions or concerns should include human oversight. Risk is an AI specialty. What statistical models do is give you something called a standard error, which lets you know if what AI is recommending has a high or low potential variability.
- To bolster trust in AI use, companies should communicate how and why they’re using AI. Approaches to decision-making must account for ethical considerations, determine levels of risk, and prioritize trust. Current conditions create blurry lines regarding accountability where AI usage has outpaced legislation. Regardless of each company's approach to utilizing AI, the core principle remains that for AI-driven decisions, there's no hard-and-fast line that's defined by risk, reward, and outcomes.
- Enterprises are implementing intelligent tools to improve business outcomes. For example, wealth management firm Consult Venture Partners deployed AIda-AI, which answered 92% of queries correctly, and 47% of queries led to webinar registrations and 39% of inquiries turned into leads.
- According to Guy Pearce, AI involved with evaluating credit scores and issuing loans is relatively low stakes. High stakes industries, for example, the medical industry, should include human oversight in any decision making that involves ethical questions.
- Whatever approach enterprises choose, however, the core message remains the same: When it comes to AI-driven decisions, there’s no hard-and-fast line that's defined by risk, reward, and outcomes; it’s a moving target.
- Legislation hasn’t kept pace with increasing AI usage. To ensure alignment with ethical principles, reducing the risk of wrong choices, and engendering stakeholder and customer trust, businesses are best served by keeping humans in the loop.
