The Science of Decision-Making: Using Data to Make Better Choices
Cassie Kozyrkov, Google's first-ever Chief Decision Scientist, joins us on The Augmented Life to share her insights on decision-making, data, and AI. During her tenure at Google, Cassie trained over 20,000 Googlers on data-driven decision-making and advised leadership on building data-driven organizations. Now the CEO of a stealth AI startup, she brings an abundance of wisdom from her 20+ year career spanning data science, consulting, and academia. With a unique blend of expertise in statistics, economics, and psychology, Cassie offers a multidisciplinary perspective on how we can improve our decision-making processes.
In this episode, Cassie explores the complex relationship between human cognition, data, and technology. She challenges us to rethink our assumptions about decision-making and provides practical strategies for leveraging tools and self-awareness to make better choices. Throughout the conversation, Cassie emphasizes the importance of cognitive realism, personal data collection, and embracing the potential of AI while maintaining a critical perspective on its limitations. Her insights offer a roadmap for navigating an increasingly data-driven world and making more informed, intentional decisions in our personal and professional lives.
Key topics include:
- [7:02] Recognizing and Compensating for our Cognitive Limitations
- [26:44] Bridging the Gaps in our Memory and Cognition
- [27:58] Digitizing Personal Data for a Future of Powerful AI tools
- [3:02] The Importance of Defining Terms and Operationalizing Concepts
- [38:02] Balancing Intuition and Data in Decision-Making
