With neuroscience methods and techniques, the results are more reliable and provide a better understanding
of human decision making in various circumstances, researchers said.
But underlying all this, the authors claim, is a process

I'm not sure of the degree to which machines should

There is plenty of confusion about these terms in the media, but for our purposes it's probably best think of AI as a broad technology category whereby machines carry out the kinds of «smart» tasks we associate
with human decision making.
We work closely with roboticists, and engineers, but despite their expertise and the high quality of their work, we do not believe an algorithm could replicate this complex and
very human decision making process.
Basically, the whole thesis is to
combine human decision making, human intelligence, and human adaptability with the strength and precision of a robot.»
Feuer starts with an examination of how recent developments in cognitive science have fundamentally changed the way we
understand human decision making and rational judgment.
We have already urged that
every human decision makes a difference, since it affects all occasions or occurrences — nobody lives «to himself» alone.
The basic idea behind their insights is that
human decision making is influenced not by rational thinking about facts, but by biases and emotions.
Gerd Gigerenzer recently summarized more than a decade of research concerning the role of heuristics in
human decision making.
I am interested in the psychology of
human decision making, particularly as it relates to important issues of our times and the way in which they are debated.
As a lawyer, a mediator, a trainer, a law professor, a consultant, entrepreneur, a legal tech enthusiast and a student of
