Big Picture Science: Skeptic Check: Feeling Risky
REPEAT
It’s not
just facts that inform our decisions. They’re also guided by how those facts
feel. From deciding whether to buckle our seat belts to addressing climate
change, how we regard risk is subjective. In this extended conversation with an
expert on the psychology of risk, find out about our exaggerated fears, as well
as risks we don’t take seriously enough. Meanwhile, while experts warn society
about the dangers of self-aware AI – are those warnings being heeded?
Guest:
- David Ropeik – Professor emeritus Harvard University, and expert on the psychology of risk
