Abstract

Background: in modern society, decision-making happens everywhere and anytime. There are many factors influencing people in making decisions, which will be analyzed with examples in the paper. Technologies also help humans in making decisions: merits and demerits of them are briefly introduced with a discussion of the example in a hedge fund in which there have already been technologies used in the industry for years. Method: qualitative research -- case study research and record keeping by searching and reading articles written by scholars or official institutions, and reviewing and analyzing them to have a conclusion on the matter relating to humans and machines’ performance in decision-making. Conclusion: By comparing the merits and demerits of humans and machines in the decision-making process, it can be concluded that cooperation between humans and machines may lead to better results at a time since they have a supplementary relationship. In other words, machines might be excellent in the fields in which humans are weak, and vice versa, which makes the collaboration of them to be the best solution so far.
