Decision Making with AI
Audience: Executive Leadership
Duration: 0.5 Day
Delivery: Virtual or in-person
Course description:
This course explains how AI supports, augments, and in some cases automates decision‑making, and what this means for responsibility, oversight, and mission assurance
Course overview:
What is decision making — a clear look at how decisions are formed, the role of judgment and context, and why structured decision processes matter in complex environments.
Augmented decision making with AI — how AI enhances human judgment by providing predictions, pattern detection, and decision‑support insights without replacing command authority.
Role of data in decision making — why data quality, availability, and governance directly shape the reliability and credibility of AI‑enabled decisions.
Allocation of responsibility — human in the loop (HITL) — how to maintain human oversight, accountability, and command responsibility when AI systems contribute to or influence decisions.
Fully autonomous decision making (including Algorithmic Impact Assessment) — when and how autonomous systems may make or recommend decisions, the associated risks, and the AIA requirements that govern higher‑risk or automated decision processes.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain how decisions are formed, the role of judgment and context, and why structured decision processes matter in complex environments
Describe how AI augments human decision‑making through predictions, pattern detection, and decision‑support insights
Assess how data quality, availability, and governance influence the reliability and credibility of AI‑enabled decisions
Maintain clear accountability through Human‑in‑the‑Loop (HITL) approaches that preserve oversight and command responsibility
Distinguish between augmented, semi‑autonomous, and fully autonomous decision‑making systems and understand their associated risks
Interpret when Algorithmic Impact Assessments (AIA) are required and how they guide responsible use of automated or higher‑risk decision processes
Evaluate how AI‑enabled decision systems can strengthen mission assurance, operational effectiveness, and executive oversight
