AI Offers Potential to Democratize High-Stakes Decision-Making Jobs
• AI could enable more workers without college degrees to perform higher-stakes, decision-making tasks currently done by highly educated professionals.
• Computers enabled professionals to spend more time on decision-making rather than information gathering, contributing to inequality.
• AI can combine rules with experience to support one-off decisions, advising workers applying judgment.
• By supporting human expertise, AI could make high-stakes decision-making accessible to more non-elite workers.
• Rather than automating all jobs, AI has potential to improve quality of jobs without needing college degrees.
