Despite AI’s proven decision-making performance, adoption remains low in uncertain, repetitive business environments. Decision-makers often doubt optimal AI recommendations when short-term outcomes suffer from randomness (e.g., supply or demand fluctuations). This randomness leads to a cycle of distrust in the optimal AI recommendations, as users increasingly discount AI advice after observing poor short-term results. Two proposed solutions to increase AI adoption are providing deductive reasoning through explanations or inductive reasoning through ‘side-by-side’ performance benchmarking. While empirical studies demonstrate that these solutions can improve reliance and trust, most focus on tasks evaluated solely by the AI’s prediction accuracy. However, accuracy proves insufficient in uncertain environments when errors impact objectives differently. Such everyday decision environments create a critical gap in understanding how these solutions affect AI adoption in repetitive managerial decision-making.
