  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.

  2. 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.

  3. Failures in #Kindness

    "…doing the other person a favor by being open & flexible
    …this is computationally unkind: it offloads all the effort of coming up with ideas & making decisions to the other person. So while it is kind on one level (respecting their object level preferences), it's unkind on another (effort, and respecting their possible meta level preferences about the planning process)."
