Aspects of Decision-Making in Human–Machine Teaming

In a digital world, joint decisions in decentralized infrastructures are increasingly necessary. Factors such as complexity and uncertainty characterize this decision-making playing field, as does a diversity of human and machine actors. Fast data-driven results can resolve decision-paralyzing uncertainties and, in combination with innovative approaches based on causality, make complexity manageable. Embedded in the principles of swarm intelligence of superorganisms, a joint decision-making process of human teams and data-driven machines receives the benefits of self-organization and emergence.
