Expectations of how machines use individuating information and base-rates [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2022 Machines are increasingly used to make decisions. We investigated people’s beliefs about how they do so. In six experiments, participants (total N = 2664) predicted how computer and human judges would decide legal cases on the basis of limited evidence —
