The Human-AI Balance: Fairness and Oversight in High-Stakes Decisions
As artificial intelligence increasingly guides critical decisions in areas like lending and hiring, a fundamental question arises: how much should we trust these systems, and when should human judgment prevail? This research delves into the complex interplay between human oversight and AI, exploring how these collaborations impact fairness. The core inquiry centers on understanding the conditions under which we might either over-rely on potentially flawed AI recommendations or, conversely, dismiss valid AI advice due to our own biases. By examining these dynamics, this work seeks to provide actionable insights for designing oversight mechanisms that promote equitable outcomes in high-stakes AI-assisted scenarios.
