In his article Decision-Making in an Age of AI, Alexander Plimmer, 2026 Global Changemakers Scholarship recipient and Aspen NZ alumnus, reflects on the questions raised at the Aspen Institute International Partners’ Global Changemakers Workshop in Hyderabad, India. He explores how AI is reshaping decision-making, the risks of reinforcing existing inequalities, and why human judgement and accountability remain essential as these technologies advance.

As Alexander writes, “the ability to delegate a decision does not necessarily mean that we can delegate responsibility for its consequences.”
