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).

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.

Holding your friends and peers to account if they skip a scheduled gym session or you catch them gorging on cookies after they swore they were cutting out sugar is an effective weight loss tool, a new study reveals – but not in the way you might think. The study, by Kosuke Uetake of Yale University, and Nathan Yang of McGill University in Montreal, looked into whether we lose more weight when we start our health kicks as part of a ‘buddy system’.
To open campuses—and keep them open throughout the fall—college administrators must assess risks beyond the potential spread of coronavirus. Many schools plan extensive testing and contact tracing. But campus leaders must also know the ability of local health systems to contend with an outbreak and also be able to prevent panic if—and more likely, when—infections are diagnosed, says Sheldon H. Jacobson, a founder professor of computer science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an expert in data-driven risk assessment.
