The constantly increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) open
new possibilities for human-AI collaboration. One promising approach to
leverage existing complementary capabilities is allowing humans to delegate
individual instances to the AI. However, enabling humans to delegate instances
effectively requires them to assess both their own and the AI's capabilities in
the context of the given task. In this work, we explore the effects of
providing contextual information on human decisions to delegate instances to an
AI. We find that providing participants with contextual information
significantly improves the human-AI team performance. Additionally, we show
that the delegation behavior changes significantly when participants receive
varying types of contextual information. Overall, this research advances the
understanding of human-AI interaction in human delegation and provides
actionable insights for designing more effective collaborative systems.
