How can we combat algorithm aversion?
-
I highly recommend this fascinating study, from the Journal of Experimental Psychology. It investigates the reasons why people may choose to trust a human's forecasts over an algorithm's forecasts, even when the algorithm is demonstrably superior."Algorithm Aversion: People Erroneously Avoid Algorithms after Seeing Them Err"There are a lot of interesting psychological issues wrapped up in the decisions people make about whether to trust algorithms (or models, or ML systems). In trying to get our ML systems adopted, we may not be paying enough attention to these non-obvious barriers. Can we find ways to overcome algorithm aversion?
