Using AI to Improve Managerial Decision-Making - DZone Agile

#artificialintelligence 

I've looked previously at the rise of so-called automated leadership, with the scheduling and appraisal of employees largely done via algorithm, with researchers exploring just how people feel working under this kind of leadership. That is but one part of the infusion of automation into leadership, however, with things like forecasting and other forms of data analysis handed over to computers for a while now. A team from the University of York and software company MooD International are teaming up to use a mixture of AI and gaming technology to help management decision making. The work revolves around the so-called Monte Carlo Tree Search, which is a commonly used algorithm for decision-making in video games. The aim is to make a similar algorithm for use in the workplace.
