Claim Your Power: learn to trust your intuition and make better decisions in a digital world | #35 |with Gerd Gigerenzer

Shall you trust your intuition and when? Should you take a prescribed medication is X%? How to distinguish facts from fakes? Can algorithms make better decisions for

you? To what extent and when you should or not rely on artificial intelligence assistants? Do bigger and more complex models help economists make better
predictions and implications about the world? What is the difference between risk and uncertainty and how this difference should shape your decisions?

In this episode, I discuss these and other questions with Gerd Gigerenzer. Gerd is a German psychologist, director emeritus of the Center for Adaptive Behavior and

Cognition (ABC) at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, director of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy, and vice president of the European
Research Council (ERC). Gerd is the author of multiple books, including popular science books, about risk literacy, how to make decisions in uncertainty and
intuition.
