The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is challenging the principle of "human-centered decision-making": in high-stakes domains such as medical diagnosis, criminal justice, or autonomous driving, when algorithms can process vast amounts of data faster and more accurately than humans, should we entrust the final decision-making authority entirely to machines? Please articulate your position and argue in which contexts human intuition, moral judgment, or emotional empathy should override algorithmic efficiency, supported by concrete examples.
