Abstract

The article:“Psychological Assessment of AI-Based Decision Support Systems: Tool Development and Expected Benefits” proposes a new tool, which is PAAI. It can be used to assess the impact of AI-based decision support systems on users' psychological load. The aim of this research is to provide an assessment technique that places people in key positions for AI-driven decision support systems in certain professional environments. And it is also necessary to evaluate the role that this tool can play. This commentary will examine the main findings, research methods and actual implications in the article, and also offer some recommendations for further studies.
