Thinking fast and slow with AI

Acclaimed economist Daniel Kahneman in his book Thinking Fast and Slow, proposed that the human brain has two separate systems for decision making – system 1 and system 2. System 1 controls unconscious decision making like walking, climbing stairs, brushing teeth, and other tasks that may not require conscious thought. On the other hand, system 2 is a slower and more deliberative type of decision-making system for tasks like playing chess, solving mathematical equations, etc. Now, what if we apply the same principle to artificial intelligence systems? Notably, this is not an entirely new concept. AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio spoke about it at length on multiple occasions.
