How does the decision making by humans differ from that of the machines?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Human decision-making and machine decision-making differ in the following ways:

  • Basis of decision: Humans often take decisions subjectively, influenced by feelings, experiences and personal judgement. Machines take decisions logically, following programmed rules/algorithms and available data.
  • Bias and emotions: Humans may show bias and may be emotional while deciding. Machines are generally objective (not affected by emotions), so their decisions are more consistent.
  • Speed and adaptability: Humans can be creative and adaptive, learning from situations, but they are usually slower. Machines can process information very fast and handle many variables quickly, but they act within their algorithmic limits.
