How decision making will change when AI answers are cheap and (too) easy

Jon Fortt interviews Cassie Kozyrkov, former chief decision scientist at Google, about the science of decision-making and how it intersects with AI. Kozyrkov discusses the importance of aligning decisions with personal values and goals, especially when using AI for advice, and the common mistakes people make in decision-making, such as not understanding their priorities. They explore how AI can provide facts and options but lacks inherent values, potentially leading to homogenized advice. Kozyrkov also shares her career journey, including her decision to leave academia for Google and eventually start her own AI consultancy, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and aligning career choices with personal values.
