Summary
This study introduces a novel trust-driven method to improve human-AI decision-making by enhancing trust representation and feedback. The approach leads to more efficient consensus convergence in collaborative scenarios.
Area of Science:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Decision Science
- Human-Computer Interaction
Background:
- Human-AI hybrid group decision-making faces challenges in trust representation, feedback during opinion conflicts, and consensus efficiency.
- Existing methods often lack robust mechanisms for dynamic trust and opinion evolution in collaborative settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a trust-driven consensus-reaching method for human-AI collaborative decision-making.
- To enhance trust representation, feedback in opinion conflicts, and consensus convergence efficiency.
Main Methods:
- A unified collaborative framework integrating human experts and large language models, centered on trust modeling.
- Dynamic trust relationship construction and coupled evolution of trust mechanisms and opinion dynamics.
- Differentiated opinion updating based on trust propagation, consensus measurement, and feedback regulation for an iterative consensus process.
Main Results:
- The proposed method was validated using the Zhengzhou "7.20" rainstorm case.
- Preliminary results show potential advantages over traditional weight adjustment and deep reinforcement learning methods.
- The method demonstrated a trend towards higher consensus quality with lower intervention costs.
Conclusions:
- The trust-driven method effectively addresses key limitations in human-AI collaborative decision-making.
- It offers a promising approach for achieving stable consensus with improved efficiency and quality.
- The framework supports dynamic trust and opinion evolution in complex collaborative environments.

Decision Making: Traditional Method
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Decision Making
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

Groupthink
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...
Reason and Intuition
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the brain can only use...
