News Release

BALTIMORE, MD, April 1, 2025 – Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand (gambler’s) fallacy yet acting inhuman in others (e.g., not suffering from base-rate neglect or sunk cost fallacies).

The Year in Food: Online Delivery Changed How We Eat in 2020

USA Today, December 22, 2020

Sherean Malekzadeh, who runs a marketing firm in Atlanta, hasn't been out to eat once since the pandemic was called in March. She skipped grocery stores for much of the year as well. Ordering online takes more time, "and you have to be on standby when the shoppers are there, in case they want to text you about missing items, but it makes me feel safer." Malekzadeh wasn't alone on that front. The pandemic changed our relationship with food in 2020. Online food ordering, from groceries and restaurants, was growing anyway, but this year it just got more popular faster.

New App Will Send Wisconsinites Alert If In Close Contact With Positive COVID Case

CBS 58, December 19, 2020

A new contact tracing mobile app called "WI Exposure Notification" is set to launch next week, giving Wisconsinites another tool to stop the spread of COVID-19. Gov. Tony Evers announced the app will go live Wednesday, Dec. 23. “We’re excited about this app’s potential to enhance our state’s response to COVID-19,” said Gov. Evers. “The voluntary WI Exposure Notification app is another tool in our toolbox to stop the spread. Because it lets you know faster if you’ve been in close contact with someone who’s tested positive, you can take steps to keep yourself safe and protect those around you. Also, the app doesn’t collect or use device location, so users will remain anonymous.”

Experts Say Efficacy of Smartphone COVID-19 Tracing App Will Depend on Participation

Fox 47, December 17, 2020

While the vaccine may be months away for many in the country, there’s another tool on its way that can go in the hands of everyone in Wisconsin as soon as next week. The State announced the WI Exposure Notification, a voluntary and free smartphone app that uses Bluetooth to alert users if they’ve been in close contact with another user who has tested positive for COVID-19. Whenever someone tests positive for COVID-19, they’ll be sent a code that can be entered into the app, which is used to anonymously send an alert to users with whom they’ve shared a Bluetooth signal.
