The Psychology of AI Decision Making: Unpacking the ethics, biases, and responsibilities of AI (PDF)

By Chris Ambler
More and more in our lives is being handed over to AI, but do we really understand how those decisions are being made? Setting the right parameters isn’t just technical detail but it’s about knowing how truth, trust, and bias shape outcomes, along with understanding the impact of socioeconomic constraints.The Psychology of AI Decision Making draws on empirical psychology experimentation, philosophy, and real-world examples to show how echo chambers, cognitive biases, and sociotech are already reshaping ethics in ways we barely notice. Before we teach machines to make decisions for us, we need to understand how we make them ourselves. If we don’t, the future won’t be built, it will be inherited. This book tackles decision-making from the ground up and cuts through the noise, exploring how decision-making works, comparing human thinking to machine algorithmic calculation. To move forward, this must be understood at every level from school children, to CEOs, to governments.
