  1. Choice Architecture in Occupational Choices
    repec.business.uzh.ch/RePEc/is
    This study uses a Swiss job board to analyze how rank order and design influence high-stakes occupational choices. Higher rankings increased applications, especially for high-paying and gender-congruent occupations. Users interpreted rank to justify choices aligning with identity, providing field evidence for motivated reasoning. An interactive, visually enriched interface redesign boosted applications and watch list usage. Results show that reducing cognitive load expands the variety of options individuals consider and remember.

  6. Generative AI for Analysts d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:arx:pape
    #AI transforms the information production process: more, faster, balanced, and less useful.
    "…forecast errors rise by 59% as AI-assisted reports convey a more balanced mix of positive and negative information that is harder to synthesize

    As a result of increasing synthesis cost, investors also react less to the signals in the AI-assisted reports. Taken together, these results suggest that AI expands information supply faster than humans can synthesize it, making information synthesis cost the dominant force behind the observed accuracy decline."

    "… participants systematically underutilize both #AI and human agents, even when those agents outperform them. Despite a general hesitancy to delegate, we observe a clear preference for delegating to AI rather than human agents, a behavioral pattern that remains consistent across both decision domains and architectures
    … suggesting that algorithm aversion stems primarily from a broader aversion to relinquishing control rather than from specific distrust towards AI
    … If individuals are driven primarily by general reluctance to relinquish control rather than specific distrust in AI, then #transparency alone, focused narrowly on increasing #trust in AI, will likely fall short of overcoming this barrier."

    "We now live in an era of informational abundance. The problem is no longer insufficient information, but rather too much of it.

    .…'UnAvailability Bias’: the tendency to treat the absence of expected information as evidence that a phenomenon does not exist, while failing to consider alternative explanations rooted in institutional, legal, or cognitive constraints.

    We still believe that what is more available is more plausible. But humans have added a new rule: what is unavailable is impossible. A reversed availability bias."

  31. The Great Power Shift: How Intelligent Choice Architectures Rewrite Decision Rights
    archive.ph/7vnir

    The increasing use of AI-powered "intelligent choice architectures" (ICAs) in organizations is transforming how #decisionRights, #power dynamics, and decision-making practices are allocated and structured.

    As ICAs become more sophisticated, there are three key shifts occurring: power flows to the human and machine architects of these choice environments, network effects amplify the decision intelligence of ICAs, and the real-time optimization capabilities of ICAs redefine authority and oversight.

    To address the risks of the "learning-authority dilemma" where ICAs exceed their granted decision rights, organizations need to establish dynamic governance frameworks that systematically evaluate ICA capabilities and intentionally expand their authority while maintaining oversight.

    Leaders must become accountable not just for individual decisions, but for the quality of the ICA systems they create.

    The article highlights the need to proactively address decision rights, power structures, and #decisionMaking practices as #AI driven #choiceArchitecture become more prominent in enterprises.

    "Near the #deadline, the agent feels increasing pressure to spend resources as quickly as possible. Because they have some liquidity, the agent exhibits both correlation aversion and monotonicity with respect to payment timing. Connecting risk and time is sensible, and doing so produces a model of an agent who procrastinates because they misperceive their own utility function or the nature of time passing. These solution properties describe an agent who is very aware of the passage of time and plans accordingly to meet deadline pressure"
