A Knowledge hub on Judgment and Decision Making
Organizations and governments around the globe are integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms across different sectors to enhance products and services, as well as to refine governance for citizens. There is a pressing need for a research agenda focused on developing a behavioral science of AI to gain insights into how the public perceives, evaluates, decides on, and interacts with AI technologies.
While some interests have been spread, we need a dedicated agenda – possibly rooted in developing countries like India to build up a research programme for cognition and decision making under scarcity and poverty

The number of lives moderated risk-aversion in gain frame (people were risk-neutral for low number of lives and risk-averse for high number of lives). However, in the loss frame, risk-seeking was observed irrespective of how many lives were at stake. This pattern was consistent across laypersons and medical professionals, further extended to preferences for choices that medical professionals and artificial intelligence programmes should make. It shows how valuation of lives can be dependent on decision frames and framing biases that could impact medical decisions, which in turn could impact health and wellbeing of citizens.
Using the vignette of urban commute apps, we tested a less explored aspect about whether people are loss averse for time – i.e. do losses of time loom larger than corresponding gains ? Challenging the apparent tautology, prospective gains loomed as larger or equal to losses for low magnitudes.
The lack of required number of teachers has been an issue in India for long. With the growth in Indian language-supported virtual assistants, can we boost school children through digital assistants?
