That might not be the case for long. Unlike us, AI systems can massage terabytes of information. As they perfect the actual intelligence and reasoning capabilities of AIs they will become far better than us at these kinds of thing just on the sheer volume of data it can use to make decisions.

I mean if someone rattled off a list of 20 numbers for you and asked you to make a decision based on those numbers, you'd probably spend 90% of that time asking them to repeat the list past the first 4 numbers. Most of your cognitive efforts would be spent on just trying to remember the numbers. AIs have no such limits. You could give and AI a list of a thousand numbers and it will remember each one and get to work processing it.
