    The Paradox of Group Intelligence – Why Smart People Make Bad Decisions

    Why can a group of intelligent, rational individuals still end up making poor decisions? In this episode, Sean and Uri explore irrational group thinking, examining how dynamics like groupthink - where the desire for harmony leads to poor decision-making - occur. We discuss what causes groups to fall into these traps, the potential harm to organizations, and how managers can promote a culture of critical thinking and open dialogue.   Research we cover in this episode includes: Barr, K., & Mintz, A. (2022). Groupthink, Polythink, and Con-Div. Routledge Handbook of Foreign Policy Analysis Methods, 269. Harel, M., Mossel, E., Strack, P., & Tamuz, O. (2021). Rational groupthink. The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 136(1), 621-668. Janis, I. L. (1972). Victims of groupthink: A psychological study of foreign-policy decisions and fiascoes. Houghton Mifflin Pol, O., Bridgman, T., & Cummings, S. (2022). The forgotten ‘immortalizer’: Recovering William H Whyte as the founder and future of groupthink research. human relations, 75(8), 1615-1641.

    How is AI shaping our public discourse?

    AI is dramatically transforming the ways in which we create content, present information, and formulate arguments. Technologies such as large language models, social media algorithms, and synthetic media generation have the potential to upend mechanisms of social discourse that are central to the functioning of liberal democratic systems. In this episode of The Management Lab, we explore the impacts of AI on social discourse. We explore a wide range of questions, including the following: What specific technologies have the greatest potential to affect social discourse? How can we discriminate between truth and falsehood and what is the importance of critical thinking in an AI era? What effects might AI have for organizations and managers? Are there potential benefits for AI in social discourse? What can we do to address the threats to social discourse engendered by AI? This discussion is a bit broader that our usual focus, but tune in to learn more about AI and its societal impact.   Research discussed in the episode: Brady, W. J., Jackson, J. C., Lindström, B., & Crockett, M. J. (2023). Algorithm-mediated social learning in online social networks. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 27(10), 947-960. Brandt, J. (2023).

    Digital Empathy: Is Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizing Mental Health?

    The use of AI for mental support is rapidly increasing. Research shows that AI designed to understand and respond to human emotions can help people combat depression, avoid suicide, and improve their human relationships.  We examine both the potential and ethical questions arising from using AI for mental support. We also discuss how using such technologies can create new opportunities and challenges for organizations. Sources Discussed: Ayers, J.W., et al. (2023).
