Artificial Intelligence and Judgement

Daniel Goleman and Yuhyun Park explore the ethical boundaries of artificial intelligence .

The authors suggest that judgement requires five steps, and artificial intelligence is only competent to deal with the first two. These five steps are:

1. gathering the data we have (information gathering and synthesis);
2. developing information that we do not have (prediction);
3. judging based on prediction (judgement);
4. making decisions based on judgement calls (decision); and,
5. acting based on the chosen decision (action).
