AI, Algorithms, and Awful Humans

This Essay critiques arguments that algorithmic decision-making is better than human decision-making. Two arguments are often advanced to justify the increasing use of algorithms in decisions. The “Awful Human Argument” asserts that human decision-making is often awful and that machines can decide better than humans. Another argument, the “Better Together Argument,” posits that machines can augment and improve human decision-making. We argue that such contentions are far too optimistic and fail to appreciate the shortcomings of machine decisions and the difficulties in combining human and machine decision-making. Automated decisions often rely too much on quantifiable data to the exclusion of qualitative data, resulting in a change to the nature of the decision itself. Whereas certain matters might be readily reducible to quantifiable data, such as the weather, human lives are far more complex. Human and machine decision-making often do not mix well. Humans often perform badly when reviewing algorithmic output.

US state-by-state AI legislation snapshot

“BCLP actively tracks the proposed, failed and enacted AI regulatory bills from across the United States to help our clients stay informed in this rapidly-changing regulatory landscape. The interactive map is current as of February 12, 2024, and will be updated quarterly to include legislation that if passed would directly impact a businesses’ development or deployment of AI solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI), once limited to the pages of science fiction novels, has now been adopted by more than 1/3 of businesses in the United States, and even more organizations are working to embed AI into current applications and processes. As companies increasingly integrate AI in their products, services, processes, and decision-making, they need to do so in ways that comply with the different state laws that have been passed and proposed to regulate the use of AI. Select a state for more information.”
