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).

Why is America running short of cancer drugs?

The Week, June 29, 2023

Cancer is always a crisis. And lately, that crisis has been compounded by a shortage of two chemotherapy drugs, The New York Times reported.

Will Generative AI Transform Political Campaigns?

The Messenger, June 27, 2023

Several Republicans have already thrown their hat into the ring to garner the GOP nomination for the presidency. The tumultuous Republican primaries during the 2016 campaign were fueled by the large number of candidates and the “styles” that they employed, such as the inordinate use of social media, like Twitter, to promulgate their messages.
