We are all operating with bounded rationality. The AI chatbots you interact with can cater (and even encourage) narrow views – and it could actively help you grow and broaden them.
An emerging line of work, sometimes described as machine psychology, studies how generative models exhibit and interact with cognitive shortcuts and how systems might support better reasoning rather than amplify bias. This motivates a research pathway that connects design, evaluation, and governance to reduce AI harms and bias risks in practice.
Bounded Minds, Generative Machines, by Jiqun Liu.
I think there is a lot of opportunity in using AI to help expand the bounds of a person’s rationality. That is what can make it an effective thinking partner.
