從約會應用程式、自駕車輛、到臉部辨識軟體等等⋯生活在充斥數據和演算法的世界，不由得讓人相信，人工智能帶來的自動化「可以」也「必將」取代人的努力。 然而，人工智能看似凌駕一切，也存在著限制與風險。 德國柏林普朗克人類發展研究院主任蓋格瑞澤警告：演算法往往會造成「確定」的假象，在數位時代我們更要借助知識力方能做出更好的決策。 Is more data always a good thing? Do algorithms really make better decisions than humans? Can we stay in control in an increasingly automated world? Drawing on decades of research into decision-making under uncertainty, Gerd Gigerenzer makes a compelling case for the enduring importance of human discernment in an automated world that we are told can - and will - replace our efforts. From dating apps and self-driving cars to facial recognition and the justice system, the increasing presence of AI has been widely championed - but there are limitations and risks too. Humans are the greatest source of uncertainty in these situations and Gigerenzer shows how, when people are involved, trust in complex algorithms can lead to illusions of certainty that become a recipe for disaster. We need, now more than ever, to arm ourselves with knowledge about how to make better decisions in a digital age
