Contents
Systematic discussions around the topic of intelligent decisions, and the
advantages and disadvantages of introducing decision support systems including
the relation between decision and automation. Simply put, the issue is whether
the aim should be to develop support for intelligent decisions, or to develop
intelligent support systems. In other words, should designers try to amplify
human intelligence or replace it.
This issue will be pursued by thematic discussions centring on the central
notions of decision making and joint cognitive systems. Part of the course will
be an independent investigation/analysis of a specific real-life case.
