MIT Sloan framework: when can AI make the call? Ambiguity and stakes decide
moniquejmorrow · x · 2026-10-17
MIT Sloan publishes a practical framework for deciding when AI can make decisions: the higher a decision's ambiguity and the bigger the cost of failure, the more AI's role shifts from acting to helping humans understand options. Decision rights can evolve over time — routine, low-risk decisions can gain autonomy as confidence grows, creating a middle ground between full automation and human-in-the-loop.
