Shall you trust your intuition and when? Should you take a prescribed medication is X%? How to distinguish facts from fakes? Can algorithms make better decisions for you? To what extent and when you should or not rely on artificial intelligence assistants? Do bigger and more complex models help economists make better predictions and implications about the world? What is the difference between risk and uncertainty and how this difference should shape your decisions? In this episode, I discuss these and other questions with Gerd Gigerenzer.
