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).

New study provides BRCA mutation carriers guidance for when surgery has greatest impact

News Release, July 19, 2017

CATONSVILLE, MD, July 19, 2017 – Of the women who carry the mutated BRCA1/2 genes, 45-65 percent will develop breast cancer, and 15-39 percent will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetimes. Many women, especially those who have experienced the death of family members to these cancers, elect to undergo preventive surgeries that can significantly increase life expectancy, but require extensive recovery time and can impact later fertility and quality-of-life. However, few guidelines exist that shed light on the optimal age to undergo these procedures, and in what sequence. A new study in the INFORMS journal Decision Analysis provides insight to help enable physicians and patients make better-informed choices.

Daily Mail, July 17, 2017

According to new research in the INFORMS journal Organization Science, women are more likely to clash with other women at work than they are with male colleagues. While women and men were equally likely to have a 'difficult' relationship with a colleague, women were more likely to cite a female co-worker as the problem. However women who had female friends within their office were less likely to have an issue with other female colleagues.
