讲座内容摘要：

周教授将探讨智慧决策、人工智能、数智经济等领域，介绍相关最前沿的话题。

A choice situation involves an interplay between the decision maker and her environment from which she senses affordances and perceives options or problems. Intelligence in decision making encompasses two phases – perception of the situation (including whether it includes problems/options) followed by choice towards accomplishing her goals. It is worth noting that energy is expended in perception as well as choice. Taking up 2% of our body weight yet consuming 20% of our resting energy, the human brain is constantly and unconsciously minimizing energy expenditure, leading naturally to attention scarcity. Consequently, intelligent choice behavior is situation sensitive, encompassing both context and reference dependence.

Over three lectures, we discuss intelligent decision making across the dimensions of uncertainty, time, and self-others. Where opportune, we relate intelligent decision making to different application domains. One domain relates to how access to AI can expand the human intelligence capacity without being constrained by biological factors such as brain size. Another concerns the digitalizing global economy providing a setting where the idea of efficiency may be radically redefined by intelligent choice. Our twin focus on the digital-intelligence economy has a nice ring in Chinese, namely, 数智经济.
