Do People Think Fast or Slow When Training AI?
Understanding Human Cognition in AI Training: Intuition vs. Deliberation
This analysis investigates whether humans rely on intuitive or deliberate decision-making processes when training AI, particularly within scenarios like the ultimatum game. Our findings highlight a strong tendency towards intuitive responses, even when deliberate actions could maximize personal gain.

Ethical Implications of Biased AI Training
In an experiment designed to remove fairness concerns, participants still opted to train AI for fairness, foregoing personal rewards. This highlights a deep-seated human tendency to embed moral responsibility or moral payoffs into AI, even when economically irrational. For enterprises, this means AI models trained on human data may inherit subtle, unstated ethical preferences that do not align with explicit business objectives or optimal decision-making. Addressing this requires careful design of AI training paradigms and potentially explicit deliberation-prompting mechanisms to ensure AI learns the intended behaviors, not implicit human biases or 'moral' intuitions.

Your AI Implementation Roadmap
A structured approach to integrate AI effectively, mitigating biases and maximizing ROI.
Phase 1: Bias Assessment & Data Audit
Identify existing cognitive biases in human decision-making and training data. Conduct a comprehensive audit of current AI training datasets.
Phase 2: Deliberation-Oriented Training Design
Implement training paradigms that encourage deliberate human input over intuitive responses, focusing on goal-aligned outcomes rather than implicit biases.
Phase 3: Performance Monitoring & Iteration
Continuously monitor AI performance for unintended biases and suboptimal decision-making. Iterate on training strategies based on real-world outcomes and feedback.
Phase 4: Scaling & Strategic Integration
Scale successful, bias-mitigated AI models across enterprise operations. Strategically integrate AI to enhance critical decision-making processes and unlock new efficiencies.
