Expert systems, decision support systems, and knowledge management systems, are computer-based constructs intended to somehow assist human users in making decisions. Directive decision devices, on the other hand, are a prospective class designed to function as entirely autonomous decision agents, and so are capable of displacing human decision-makers. The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the prospects transferring the responsibility for handling certain sorts of financial management applications from human functionaries to directive decision devices.
