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).
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. Thousands of smartphones and smart devices are talking to, sending and downloading vast amounts of data, video, audio, words, numbers, images, you name it. Everything from the latest movie on Netflix to someone’s radiology results from a cancer screening.

New research has found a way to identify extremists, such as those associated with the terrorist group ISIS, by monitoring their social media accounts, and can identify them even before they post threatening content.
A new study in the INFORMS journal Management Science shows how to improve the success rate of an innovative kidney matching process called kidney exchange. The enhancement centers on a new concept called ‘failure-aware’ matching that takes pre-transplant compatibility failures into account probabilistically. Depending somewhat on the exact setting, the method can roughly double the number of transplants.
A new study has sought to address these challenges of kidney exchange matching and introduced the concept of "failure-aware" algorithmic matching to improve success rates. The study, "Failure-Aware Kidney Exchange," was published in the INFORMS journal Management Science.
According to a new study in the INFORMS journal Operations Research, unless there is a player so strong it can guarantee a win regardless of what others do, the likely outcome of multilateral war is a gradual stalemate that leads to mutual annihilation of all players.
A new study in the INFORMS journal Operations Research on the conflict in Syria using existing attrition models, found that certain factors were lacking, leading to the creation of a new predictive model for multilateral war, which is called the Lanchester multiduel.
