“Thinking, Fast and Slow is a book about the psychological and cognitive factors that influence how humans make decisions and solve problems. It is relevant to artificial intelligence (AI) because many AI systems are designed to assist with decision-making and problem-solving tasks. In Thinking, Fast and Slow the author, Daniel Kahneman, describes two systems of thinking that the human brain uses: System 1, which is fast and automatic, and System 2, which is slower and more deliberate. Kahneman discusses how these two systems work and how they can influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He also discusses how these systems can lead to biases and errors in judgment, and how they can impact our ability to make good decisions. Understanding these psychological and cognitive factors can be useful for those working in the field of AI, as it can help them design systems that are more effective at assisting humans with decision-making and problem-solving tasks. By taking into account the ways in which the human mind works, AI designers can create systems that are more intuitive and easier for humans to use.” Read more...

“Kahneman developed research with Amos Tversky, who unfortunately died young—I think it would have been a co-written book otherwise. It’s a brilliant book that summarizes their psychological research on cognitive biases, or is patterns of thinking, which all of us are prone to, which aren’t reliable.” Read more...
