The act of decision-making lies at the core of human existence and shapes our interactions with the surrounding environment. This article investigates the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in the advancement of intelligent decision support systems (IDSS). It builds upon prior research conducted in the decision-making field and the subsequent development of decision support systems (DSS) based on that knowledge. The initial establishment of the fundamental principles of classical DSS is undertaken. The subsequent emphasis is directed towards the integration of artificial intelligence techniques within IDSS. The evaluation of an IDSS, as well as any other DSS, is a crucial undertaking in order to gain insights into the system's capabilities and identify areas that require enhancement. This article presents a review conducted on this significant yet insufficiently investigated subject matter. When utilized in conjunction with DSS, AI techniques such as intelligent agents, artificial neural networks (ANN), evolutionary computing, case-based reasoning, and fuzzy logic provide valuable assistance in defining complex practical challenges, which are mostly time-critical, encompass extensive and scattered data, and can derive advantages from sophisticated reasoning.
