Q

Problems with the line shaft system

A

Inefficient energy transmission (big energy waste)
2. All-or-nothing system
1. Machines could not be used without all of the power being on
2. The engine or shaft breaks, everything stops
3. The belts
1. Dangerous!
2. Blocked light
3. Lots of noise
4. Power distribution dictated the layout of the factory
5. Building size was limited
* All of this significantly limited the productivity of factories

Q

The electrification of the factory & reasons for slow progress

A

At the start people replaced big steam engines with big electric engines in the same factory
* It took DECADES before the factory was redesigned to exploit the benefits of electricity
1. Move to group drive and smaller electric engines for groups of machines
2. And eventually unit drive: 1 machine = 1 engine (engine inside the machine)
* Reasons for slow progress:
* Habit/inertia
* Installed capital

Q

The lag theory of General Purpose Tech

A

Electrification led to a big increase in productivity, but it took around 40 years for people to fully realize the gains
* The same (but shorter lag) happened with computers in the 70s-90s
* Leading economists argue the same is happening with AI today. Full exploitation of GPT requires organizational, psychological, social,
societal adjustments
* Tech exploitation is as much a human as a technical challenge
* This means that it usually takes a long time before a GPT impacts productivity stats
* (Another reason for why we need a behavioral science course on AI)

Q

Define Consumer AI

A

An ecosystem of three elements:

1) Data collection & storage (Listening)
2) Statistical & computational algorithms (Predicting)
3) Output systems (Producing & Interacting)

that enable products and services to perform tasks typically understood as requiring intelligence and autonomous decision making on behalf of consumers

A

Undifferentiated, Competitive Position, Differentiated

1) Extract Commodities
2) Make Goods
3) Deliver Services

22
Q

Problems with Listening: Data-Capture Experiences

A

Served vs exploited?
- Sociological Background: Surveillance Society
- Psychological Reaction: Loss of control

23
Q

Problem with Producing: Delegation Experiences

A

Empowered vs replaced?
- Sociological background: Transhumanism
- Psychological concern: Loss of self-efficacy

24
Q

What is the problem with Predicting: Classification Experiences

A

Understood vs Misunderstood?
- Sociological background: Unequal worlds
- Psychological reaction: Fear of mistakes/discrimination

25
Interacting: Social Experiences
Connected vs Alienated - Sociological background: Humanized AI - Psychological concern: Objectification/Dehumanization
26
Creative Vs Emotional Work
Creative Work “With automation forecasted to eliminate many repetitive jobs, humans will move up the value chain and carry out more thoughtful, creative work” “Why is [creativity] the most important skill for professionals today? … Today, basically anything that can be automated has been automated or soon will be automated, which cuts down on a lot of process-orientated tasks.” Emotional Work Jobs that require sensitivity, empathy, moral
27
Recording
capturing the data and storing it Camera captures light on sensitive film
28
Slicing
taking elements of what is collected Van Gogh’s painting with the town & galaxies
29
Matching
- using algorithms and machine learning to diagnose the information
30
Explaining
interpretation, understanding what makes something happen next Causal inference
31
AI vs Human INtelligence
Artificial Intelligence - recording and matching helps us expand our known knowns from previously known unknowns Human Intelligence - slicing and explaining helps us expand our known unknowns to unknown unknowns Picasso and Socrates emphasize that we can answer the “why”, which machines cannot perform well
32
Limits of AI
We live in a causal world AI representation provides intelligent outputs based on predictability for next word but there is no agenda, no mental models, still representation (recording and matching) B.S. speech intended to persuade without regard for truth
33
Two Archetypes
Discovery as Epiphany Light bulb goes off and make a connection *Cognitive flexibility - creativity as association process - more holistic thinking enables more distal associations - Outside the box - Creativity as interpretation Discovery as Serendipity Chance favors the prepared mind, search costs involved *Cognitive persistence - Creativity as a stochastic process - More extensive search enables more creative output - Inside the box - Creativity as representation
34
Insight vs. Effort: Communicating the Creative Process to New Products
Consumers hold associations between insight and arts, between effort and sciences Consumers evaluate more favorably artistic and scientific products presented as the outcome of insight or effort
35
Problem with data driven decision making
Correlation does not equal causation (Ice Cream → Shark Attacks, Adidas, World’s Dirtiest Man) Hard to measure ROI - Facebook Small Businesses vs. Apple Selection Effects Air plane example
36
Two trends in managerial decision making
Behavioral Science - More Aware of cognitive biases Computer Science - Greater Ability to Store and Analyze Data
37
Problem with Data Driven Analytics
The name - should be decision driven analytics. 1) take data (scientists) at face value. - Correlation is not causation - Hard to measure ROI - Selection Effects 2)Answer the wrong questions AB test instead of historical data
38
Evolution of decision making
Intuitive Management; Big data analytics; decision driven analytics
39
Factual and couter factual questions
Prediction (Match) and Intervention (Explain)
40
Prediction vs intervention
In politics, the difference between persuadables and already strong supporters
41
Decision Driven Data Analytics
- Anchors on the decision to be mad - Finds data for a purpose - Starts from what is unknown - Focus on action/impact - Empowers Decision makers
42
consequences of human replacement depend on
context and technology
43
The psychology of human replacement (4 components)
Attribution social comparison perceived control self awareness
44
Attribution (psych)
How do people infer causality (central to interpreting the process of human machine co creation). People care not only about outcomes but also the process leading to them. People value the opportunity to carry out tasks that are more central to their identity. Think about the cooking machine study. WHO COOKED DINNER? * Internalizing positive outcomes is easier with human decision makers because algorithms neglect individuals’ uniqueness (Longoni et al. 2019) * But we externalize negative outcomes regardless of the decision maker * Uniqueness neglect vs. biased/unreliable * Therefore, less positive response to algorithmic acceptance and difference mitigated in the case of rejection
45
Social Comparison
Natural tendency to compare one's performance ot that of others: upward vs downward. Relevence: Human replacement should be expected to trigger social comparisons - Similarity to comparison target important antecedent of social comparison * Robots induce less self-relevant comparisons, inducing less self- threat * People thus have a psychological incentive to prefer robotic replacement over human replacement * (But: Robotic replacement = more future concerns) 41
46
perceived control
Autonomy and control over one’s life are fundamental human desires (Wertenbroch et al. 2020) * Control is a situational appraisal * Relevance: Automation takes over tasks we previously performed, and this can create a perceived loss of control - nicknaming brands and [products is a way to cope/
47
Self-Awareness
Increased sense of self-awareness makes salient self-standards * Relevance: Human enhancement expected to trigger greater self- awareness and motivation to live up to self-standards - Instagram study, appearance awareness made people more aware of their donation behavior.
48
Self-serving bias:
* Internal attribution of positive outcomes * External attribution of negative outcomes
49
Symbolic consumption/Uniqueness motives
* Human labor associated with antecedents of symbolic value (e.g., scarcity, imperfections), and robotic labor to the opposite (e.g., standardization) * Human labor creates value for symbolic consumption because it helps satisfy one’s need for uniqueness tattoo study - making a tattoo (symbolic) - removing a tattoo (instrumental)
50
Stereotypes
Shared Beliefs/preconceptions about a person - People hold believed about what machines can and cannot do
51
Algorithmic management
tends to objectify workers, decreases prosocial behavior
52
The morality of human replacement
attrubution, self expression, morality, dehumanization, stereotyep
