Prof. Gerd Gigerenzer, Direktor am Harding-Zentrum für Risikokompetenz, spricht über die Kunst der Entscheidungsfindung in unsicheren Zeiten. Er erklärt, wann Intuition effektiver ist als AI und Big Data. Kritisches Denken wird als Schlüssel zur Entscheidungsfindung betont, während die Tendenz zur Überbewertung von Fakten und Meinungen hinterfragt wird. Gigerenzer diskutiert, wie einfache Strategien oft erfolgreicher sind als komplexe Modelle und warum es wichtig ist, Annahmen regelmäßig zu prüfen. Zudem beleuchtet er den Einfluss kultureller Unterschiede auf die Risikowahrnehmung.

Gerd Gigerenzer, expert in decision-making under uncertainty, discusses topics such as choosing the appropriate statistical approach, the intersection between Bayesian thinking and heuristics, the need for statistical education, the effectiveness of teaching decision-making tools to doctors, and the admiration for Ada Lovelace and Marie Curie.

Doomsday prophets of technology predict that robots will take over the world, leaving humans behind in the dust. Tech industry boosters think replacing people with software might make the world a better place--while tech industry critics warn darkly about surveillance capitalism. Despite their differing views of the future, they all agree: machines will soon do everything better than humans. In How to Stay Smart in a Smart World: Why Human Intelligence Still Beats Algorithms (MIT Press, 2022), Gerd Gigerenzer shows why that's not true, and tells us how we can stay in charge in a world populated by algorithms.Machines powered by artificial intelligence are good at some things (playing chess), but not others (life-and-death decisions, or anything involving uncertainty). Gigerenzer explains why algorithms often fail at finding us romantic partners (love is not chess), why self-driving cars fall prey to the Russian Tank Fallacy, and how judges and police rely increasingly on nontransparent "black box" algorithms to predict whether a criminal defendant will reoffend or show up in court. He invokes Black Mirror, considers the privacy paradox (people want privacy, but give their data away), and explains that social media get us hooked by programming intermittent reinforcement in the form of the "like" button. We shouldn't trust smart technology unconditionally, Gigerenzer tells us, but we shouldn't fear it unthinkingly, either.Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland.

Gerd Gigerenzer discusses the power of intuition in decision-making, challenging the notion of it being inferior to rationality. Topics include the difference between intuition and rationality, heuristics, using intuition in business, and distinguishing right intuition from wrong. The conversation also covers the role of AI in utilizing intuition and the importance of cultivating intuition for handling uncertainty.

Gerd Gigerenzer, an expert on human decision-making, challenges the view of intuition as inferior to rationality. Topics include heuristics, power of intuition, using intuition in business, distinguishing right intuition, and AI using intuition. The podcast explores intuition as unconscious intelligence shaped by experience, the role of biases, and the relationship between intuition, improvisation, and problem-solving.
