Description: By some estimates, we make tens of thousands of decisions in a single day. How do we learn to make the decisions we do? What is the role of educators in decision making? What other factors play into our decision-making processes? This lecture will share recent research on how decision making is taught and learned and how generative AI is potentially impacting the decisions we make every day.
