Conscious Machines

very interesting article connecting to Herbert Simon and Bounded Rationality that I introduced in the IREB CPRE FL course :-)

"Human analysts make poor decisions when they must take into account a number of attributes simultaneously: decision-makers may be aware of many different factors, but it is seldom more than one or two that they consider at any one time. One effect is that experts are often influenced by irrelevant information."

and 

"Humans tend to violate properties of both exclusivity and transitivity of comparison: if a pair of alternatives is presented to a subject many times, successive presentations being well separated by other choices, a given subject does not necessarily choose the same alternative each time."
