🚨 New in @PNASNews 🚨

We find that people see more of their #biases in #algorithms' decisions than in their own #decisions, even when algorithms are trained on their decisions and when those decisions are the same. 1/n

AI gives anyone who 1) uses the frontier models 2) has some understanding of the models, a level up. The reason why it shows up as the below is because so far mostly the already-skilled are doing 1) and 2).

Understanding *who* uses AI is critical.

If AI adoption stalls, it’s not always the tech—it’s often human psychology.

In the Mar/Apr @HarvardBiz, we show what makes generative AI feel like an assistant or replacement —and how to increase its embrace.

Interventions that enable individuals to circumvent obstacles, offer social support, provide incentives, and highlight healthy social norms are very effective at changing behavior.

Changing emotions, attitudes, and beliefs, doesn't help much. https://t.co/eAuWWTL1kd

The ramp-up in medication as PhDs approach the job market may suggest it's more about uncertainty about future employment than the stress of the PhD itself. After getting over impostor syndrome, I really enjoyed my PhD, but like everyone, was very stressed about finding a job.
