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).

Media Coverage

You are swimming in an ocean of data and don’t even realize it. All around you are invisible amounts of data that would be staggering to try to comprehend.

State Health Authorities Worry About Slow Planning for Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution

The Wall Street Journal, September 17, 2020

As the Trump administration pushes ahead with its Covid-19 vaccine distribution plans, state health authorities are expressing concerns that the government hasn’t resolved critical issues, complicating their efforts to deliver any shots that get cleared for use to those most in need. The federal government released two vaccine-distribution plans this week, but state health officials, who will play a key role in immunization campaigns, say much work still needs to be done.

Troy Taylor: Clamoring for Fall Football

Review Atlas, September 17, 2020

Gov. J.B. Pritzker brought in two medical experts to act as his pulling guard and his tackle — using scientific reasoning to defend his decision not to allow contact youth sports. The governor has stood his ground in the pocket, unmoved by a vocal and persistent opposition. On the other side of the line are the coaches, parents and players that are part of the Let Us Play movement, who want fall football (and other sports) and they’re rushing in with rallies scheduled for Saturday in Chicago and Springfield.

Keeping Coronavirus Vaccines at Subzero Temperatures During Distribution Will Be Hard, but Likely Key to Ending Pandemic

The Conversaiton, September 18, 2020

Just like a fresh piece of fish, vaccines are highly perishable products and must be kept at very cold, specific temperatures. The majority of COVID-19 vaccines under development – like the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines – are new RNA-based vaccines. If they get too warm or too cold they spoil. And, just like fish, a spoiled vaccine must be thrown away. So how do companies and public health agencies get vaccines to the people who need them?

CIO Review, September 16, 2020

Managing money has traditionally involved more art than science. Investment managers would rely on instinct and experience to decide which opportunities are the best match for the needs of each client. This worked well enough for decades, but in the age of Big Data, we can certainly do better. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), the industry has, within its grasp, the potential for a powerful expansion in capabilities. Now, all it takes is the will to embrace the cultural change needed to convert possibility into reality.

Kansas Could Approve $50 Million in COVID-19 Testing. Here's How it Might be Spent.

The Kansas City Star, September 16, 2020

Kansas may spend $50 million to provide residents easier, faster access to coronavirus testing in the months ahead — an expansion that will take place as people grapple with the twin threats of COVID-19 and the flu. Kansas has continued to struggle to establish the kind of quick, broad testing that some states have largely achieved more than six months into the pandemic. Kansas has one of the highest rates of positive tests in the country, a possible sign the state isn’t testing enough.
