Human + AI Index

Where, inside organisations, the line between human decision and algorithmic delegation runs — and with what results. A standing observatory: the first edition is in preparation.

Why an index

The line exists either way. Better to know it.

Every organisation that adopts AI systems draws, in effect, a line between what a person decides and what a machine decides. Almost none draws it explicitly: the line emerges from local choices, habits, vendors' default settings.

The index exists to make that line visible: where firms place it, with what safeguards, with what outcomes. Not to rule on where it ought to be — that is a decision for each board — but to give decision-makers a grounded point of comparison.

What it observes

01

Perimeter of delegation

Which families of decisions organisations entrust to automatic systems, and which they keep for human judgement.

02

Safeguards

Under what controls the delegation happens: human oversight, intervention thresholds, traceability of decisions.

03

Outcomes

What happens next: perceived quality of decisions, incidents, corrections of course, returns on the balance chosen.

Method

Direct observation, not surface surveys.

The index combines in-depth interviews at senior level, analysis of the internal policies made available and verifiable public data. Participating organisations remain anonymous; the classification criteria are declared in every edition.

The programme is joined to the institute's advisory work: the questions come from boardrooms, and the answers return to them.
