Episode 8: Rationality vs. Reality: Human Decisions & AI's Role
AI IRL: Real Talk with Real Experts
Interview with Ido Erev, Professor of Behavioral Science and “Women’s Division—ATS Academic Chair” at the Faculty of Data and Decision Science at the Technion--Israel Institute of Technology
Welcome back to AI In Real Life! This episode dives deep into the complexities of human decision-making and how it deviates from traditional rational models.
Join host Katy, live from the AI-SDM workshop at Carnegie Mellon University, as she speaks with Professor Ido Erev, a leading researcher in cognitive science and the intersection of psychology and economics. They discuss:
- Defining Rationality: Understand the simple model of rational choice and why humans often fail to adhere to it.
- Two Types of Deviation: Explore the crucial distinction between suboptimal behavior and actions that benefit the individual but harm society, such as pollution and texting while driving.
- Learning from Past Experiences: Discover how our brains operate like machine learning algorithms, relying on past experiences to inform present decisions.
- AI's Role in Behavioral Change: Learn how AI can be used to improve laws, regulations, and enforcement, ultimately reducing counterproductive behaviors.
- Objective AI Criteria for Research: Explore how AI can enhance scientific progress by creating more objective evaluation methods for research.
- The Generalizability of Decision Models: Understand how basic learning processes observed in lab settings can explain behavior in diverse real-world scenarios, and even across different species.
- Human Judgment vs. AI Tools: Discuss the future of human-AI collaboration, emphasizing that AI will serve as a tool to augment, not replace, human decision-making.
If you've ever wondered why we sometimes act against our own best interests, and how AI can help us navigate those tendencies, you'll want to check out this episode!
