AI Thinks Like Us – Flaws and All: New Study Finds ChatGPT Mirrors Human Decision Biases in Half the Tests
News Release

BALTIMORE, MD, April 1, 2025 – Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand (gambler’s) fallacy yet acting inhuman in others (e.g., not suffering from base-rate neglect or sunk cost fallacies).

Navigating the Grain Crisis: Expert Insights on the Black Sea Grain Initiative’s Collapse

The Ukrainian Review, August 16, 2023

To reduce the influence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the world’s food safety, in July 2022, Turkey, the UN, and Russia brokered the Black Sea grain initiative. This agreement was devised to ensure that Ukraine, a major global grain producer, could smoothly export its grain through its southern ports via the Bosphorus. Since being initiated, the grain agreement has transported over 32 million tons of grain and various commodities to nations and areas desperately requiring food, predominantly in the Global South. This initiative has played a pivotal role in stabilizing food prices and enhancing worldwide food security.

How to design predictable scheduling laws that not only benefit workers but also firms’ bottom line?

Brookings, August 10, 2023

Over the past few decades, much of the media and policy debate around labor issues have focused on low wages. Labor issues related to work schedules have received far less attention. In fact, 17% of the U.S. labor force works on unpredictable or unstable schedules with short advance notice (Golden 2015). They are disproportionately concentrated in lower paid occupations in the retail and service sectors. According to a national survey on retail jobs, 87% of retail workers report hour variations in the past month with the average variation equivalent to 48% of their usual work hours, 50% report a week or less advance notice, and 44% say that their employer decides their work hours without their input (Lambert et al. 2014). The prevalence and the rapid growth of unpredictable and unstable schedules has resulted in many social issues, including difficulties arranging childcare and threats to households’ economic security (Henly and Lambert 2014).
