Psychological artificial intelligence applies psychological insights to design computer algorithms for decision-making under uncertainty. The examples of predicting flu and recidivism demonstrate how incorporating psychological theories can improve algorithm efficiency and transparency.
Psychological artificial intelligence (AI) applies insights from psychology to design computer algorithms. Its core domain is decision-making under uncertainty, that is, ill-defined situations that can change in unexpected ways rather than well-defined, stable problems, such as chess and Go. Psychological theories about heuristic processes under uncertainty can provide possible insights. I provide two illustrations. The first shows how recency-the human tendency to rely on the most recent information and ignore base rates-can be built into a simple algorithm that predicts the flu substantially better than did Google Flu Trends's big-data algorithms. The second uses a result from memory research-the paradoxical effect that making numbers less precise increases recall-in the design of algorithms that predict recidivism. These case studies provide an existence proof that psychological AI can help design efficient and transparent algorithms.
