Human-AI Collaboration for Decision Making

The Focus Group “Human-AI Collaboration for Decision Making” involves Dieter Schwarz Fellow Prof. Kejia Hu (University of Oxford) and her hosts Prof. Stefan Minner (Logistics and Supply Chain Management, TUM School of Management), Prof. Gudrun Kiesmüller (Operations Management, TUM School of Management) and Prof. Gunther Friedl (Management Accounting, TUM School of Management).

Our Focus Group explores how humans and AI can collaborate more effectively in decision-making within operations management. As AI technologies continue to evolve, organizations face difficulties integrating them with human expertise, limiting the full potential of AI. 
Our research addresses this challenge by developing methods that combine human judgment with AI’s processing power, allowing for better decision-making in complex scenarios. We aim to create a decision-support system that provides real-time recommendations, helping businesses enhance both efficiency and productivity. This system not only supports immediate decisions but also promotes continuous learning between AI and human collaborators, leading to more effective cooperation over time. By bridging the gap between advanced technology and practical application, our work will directly benefit industries ranging from manufacturing to consulting. Ultimately, our research will deliver both theoretical insights and practical solutions, enabling more productive human-AI partnerships across various sectors.
