A Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Explains Why Good AI Will Always Outsmart Humans

Kahneman, a Nobel Prize winner in Economic Sciences and the author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, noted an instance in which humans use judgment heuristics--shortcuts, essentially--to answer questions they don't know the answer to. In the example, people are given a small amount of information about a student: She's about to graduate, and she was reading fluently when she was four years old. From that, they're asked to estimate her grade point average.
