Part 6/13:
The speaker references Daniel Kahneman’s model of System 1 and System 2 thinking—fast, instinctive reactions versus slow, deliberate reasoning. Most strategic decisions are deliberative, involving in-depth analysis, contrasting with the quick, heuristic responses common in everyday life. Recognizing this duality is vital when designing AI systems that augment human decision-making.
Agentic Workflows and the Quest for Methodology
The current zeal around agentic workflows—AI systems that execute tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously—calls for clarity on what tasks should be automated and how. The speaker delineates scenarios:
Human-in-the-loop: where humans oversee AI actions
Semi-autonomous: AI nudging humans in the right direction
