AI inference is not yet a decision
An AI system may infer that rising injury risk is associated with travel fatigue, reduced recovery and high training intensity. That is useful — but it is still only an inference.
Inferential trust
Inferential trust is the organizational ability to determine which AI-generated inference, under which conditions and with what level of evidence, deserves to guide action.
What should be checked?
- Data provenance and quality
- Explainability of the inference
- Scientific and contextual plausibility
- Uncertainty and alternative explanations
- Human expert review
- Clear accountability for the final decision
Decision path
AI Inference → Human Judgment → Validation → Trust → Managerial Decision → New Knowledge
