The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Human Decision-Making Psychology

The rapid development of artificial intelligence is not only changing technical and economic structures, but is also having a profound impact on the psychology of human decision-making processes. How does interaction with AI influence our thinking, our judgement and our trust in our own intuition? What mechanisms are at work in the interaction between humans and machines when decisions are delegated, optimised or subtly guided by algorithms? This book sheds light on the fundamentals of decision-making psychology and analyses the complex effects of AI integration on cognitive processes and behavioural patterns. It shows how artificial intelligence is changing our perception, willingness to take risks and freedom of choice and what social and ethical challenges arise from this. It takes a forward-looking perspective to discuss what developments can be expected and how AI systems can be designed responsibly to preserve human autonomy. This book provides a well-informed snapshot of a dynamic field that affects everyone who makes decisions in an increasingly AI-driven world.
