In an exclusive interview with Le Figaro, Olivier Sibony and Éric Hazan, prominent figures in the consulting world from McKinsey, discuss their new book that tackles the critical issues surrounding artificial intelligence and human judgment. They pose essential questions about the extent of human decision-making in an era where AI tools are becoming increasingly capable, raising concerns about autonomy and the ethical implications of reliance on AI.

The authors delve into whether human decisions are still relevant and who is truly making decisions today in contexts influenced by AI. Their work aims to provoke thought on the shifting roles in decision-making processes as they analyze the broader implications for society as AI algorithms take precedence in various sectors, from business to everyday life. They emphasize the importance of maintaining human judgment despite the advancements in AI technology.

Sibony and Hazan advocate for a critical approach to integrating AI into decision-making frameworks, ensuring that we do not lose sight of the human element that is vital for responsible and ethical decision-making. Their book, published by Flammarion, is positioned as a necessary read for anyone looking to understand the balance between human input and AI efficiency, particularly for leaders navigating this transitional landscape.
