IBF On Demand
It Is Impossible to be Unbiased
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We spend a lot of time worrying about AI hallucinations, but how often do humans invent patterns, explanations, and certainty that are not really there? In this episode, we explore the full gamut of human bias, from confirmation and anchoring to optimism and narrative bias. We also examine why planners can genuinely believe they see seasonality in just ten data points and what we can do to recognize and reduce bias in forecasting and decision-making.
