This study proposes an integrated AI-driven quantum spherical fuzzy decision framework for multi-criteria evaluation under uncertainty. The model combines AI-based decision-maker weighting, quantum spherical fuzzy Bayesian networks for criteria weighting, and WASPAS for ranking. Decision makers are clustered using k-means to reduce bias, while interdependencies and uncertainty are captured probabilistically. The framework is applied to assess renewable energy investment competencies in G7 economies. Results highlight the importance of customer-centric expectations and real-time financial performance. The model offers a flexible, robust, and scalable approach, improving reliability, transparency, and decision quality in complex environments.

Abstract
Existing fuzzy inference systems are generally based on ordinary fuzzy sets, which do not let the second and third dimensions of the other fuzzy sets extensions to be employed. This paper suggests a decision-making approach by utilizing the fuzzy inference systems (FIS) based on spherical fuzzy sets (SFS). We prefer spherical fuzzy sets to consider the indecision degree together with membership and non-membership degrees in the proposed FIS. During the defuzzification of SF inference system, the indecision degree is distributed over membership and non-membership degree in balance regarding to indecision degree by using a special transformation function. By applying the proposed approach on FIS, it aims to cover hesitancies and uncertainties caused by insufficient assessments of the decision makers more effectively. The proposed decision-making approach is tested with a real-world application in the field of maintenance work order prioritization for scheduling. Finally, the result of the suggested approach based on SFS is compared with the risk assessment matrix technique (RAM) existing in the literature and Picture Fuzzy Inference Systems (PiFIS). It is observed that the proposed Spherical Fuzzy Inference System (SFIS) is more efficient than RAM and PiFIS methods.
