Should AI decide this, or should you?
Rate one business decision on two dimensions, ambiguity and risk. The matrix places it in one of four types, and each type splits the work between people and AI differently.
Place one decision on the matrix
Describe a decision in a few sentences, or answer 20 short statements. The matrix moves with every answer, and you get a short report at the end.
Answers you gave in the questionnaire are kept. Only the ones taken from your description are updated.
Please name your decision first. It becomes the title of your report.

Designing Decision Rights for AI
Leaders have to decide how people and autonomous AI share decisions. The briefing recommends managing AI as a portfolio of business decisions rather than a collection of use cases. Routine and consequential decisions pay off now in efficiency and scale. Exploratory and strategic decisions pay off later, in innovation and better judgment.
