Recent advances in photonic technology are redefining decision-making processes by integrating quantum dots with bandit problem algorithms. Quantum dots – nanoscale semiconductor particles – ...

Can we ever really trust algorithms to make decisions for us? Previous research has proved these programs can reinforce society’s harmful biases, but the problems go beyond that. A new study shows how ...

Studies show that AI systems used to make important decisions such as approval of loan and mortgage applications can perpetuate historical bias and discrimination if not carefully constructed and ...

Deciding what to do in situations when there is no right answer is an unenviable challenge for any leader. Doing it in a matter of seconds under the pressure of a rapidly changing scenario — like a ...

More experience in a given situation tends to make us feel we are getting better at making decisions. As we gain expertise, our judgments get quicker, too. But quick doesn’t always mean accurate. So, ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making systems — algorithms that analyze massive amounts of data and make predictions about the future — are increasingly affecting Americans’ ...

Researchers uncover a single rule for how animals make spatial decisions while on the move. An international team led by researchers from the University of Konstanz and Max Planck Institute of Animal ...
