What about this:
"Q. So of course there’s been a whole slew of research showing that we are quite irrational and prone to errors in our thinking. Has there been research to help us be more rational?-T

(And even the value of that advice has been questioned.) Improving decision-making is more likely to work in organizations (together with Olivier Sibony and Dan Lovallo, I published an attempt in that direction in the Harvard Business Review in June 2011.)"
Ah, that was interesting, thanks!

Here is a Q & A with Daniel Kahneman. He gives a brief answer to a question about heuristics and AI:
