New paper on how AI changes corporate decision-making

In this paper, we investigate theoretically how the use of AI for decision-making will change the mechanisms behind corporate decisions. In management research, we tend to exploit human biases to understand outcomes. Now if companies start using AI for decisions support, some of these biases will go away, some will change, and some new biases will come in. In the paper (published in Journal of World Business and co-authored with Harald Puhr and Jonas Puck), we build a theoretical framework to help understand how we will have to adjust business theory to understand companies under the new reality of AI-supported decision-making.
