Involving AI in high-stakes decisions in real organisations - 13 Mar 2026

AI is increasingly shaping high-stakes decisions in organisations, from hiring to innovation funding, yet its real impact on outcomes and processes remains unclear. This event brought together researchers and technology builders to explore how AI-driven decision tools are designed, deployed, and what they ultimately mean for firms and individuals.

Both generative AI and traditional data-driven approaches have been increasingly incorporated into decision processes across a variety of industries. How they affect decision-making processes and outcomes, however, is not fully understood. The stakes are high - whether it’s allocating scarce resources toward innovative ideas, or selecting among eligible candidates for job positions.

In this event, we heared from technology pioneers and academic researchers who have been on the frontline, building tools or conducting experiments to incorporate AI into decision-making in organisations. We discussed not only the implications of deploying tools for firm and individual outcomes, but also got a glimpse into how these technologies are built and adapted to drive high-stake decision processes in the first place.
