This lack of verifiable information makes methods for deliberation in government agencies, boardrooms, and non-profit groups difficult and uncertain.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOne option is to use technology to augment the human brain, but this ongoing upgrade needs to be incremental.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn response to these challenges, this project assessed the human and technical infrastructures required to support the systematic construction of complex group decision products, and the procedures necessary to ensure their long-term integrity. The team focused on studying the requirements for integrating vast amounts of data, making sense of it, and producing decision products that are long-lasting. They also studied the economic incentives necessary to preserve the quality and accountability of such products.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSetting up quality indicators is important in augmented decision control groups. This enables world-class safety performance. Artificial Intelligence robotics and nanotechnology can provide safeguards. If an error occurs, decision makers won\u2019t be able to say that they \u201chad no idea\u201d a disaster was possible \u2013 and hence, accountability is created. The team identified the following sources of decision system augmentation (which can be enabled through intelligent decision products):<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\u2022Augmenting of human skills<br \/>\n\u2022Improving accuracy of predictions<br \/>\n\u2022Accelerating process timing<br \/>\n\u2022Solving complex problems<br \/>\n\u2022Improving quality<br \/>\n\u2022Increasing productivity<br \/>\n\u2022Decreasing costs<br \/>\n\u2022Managing knowledge<br \/>\n\u2022Expanding range of possibilities<br \/>\n\u2022Personal and group agents: Siri, Now, Electric Elves, Java IAL<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Team:<\/strong><br \/>\nRobert Laughlin and Neil Jacobstein<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mediax.stanford.edu\/research\/publish-on-demand\/\">All Publish On Demand Projects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decision Products &#038; Their Long-Term Integrity Led by Prof. Robert Laughlin, Anne T. and Robert M.
