New podcast alert! 👇
I had a great convo with Vice Admiral Jan Tighe on the latest episode of The Decision Education Podcast where she shared what she’s learned about decision-making as one of the Navy's most decorated commanders and a pioneering career cryptologist.
What if the most dangerous vulnerability in any network isn't a line of code, but a person who hasn't learned to question what they're being told?
Vice Admiral Jan Tighe, one of the Navy's most decorated commanders and a pioneering career cryptologist, joins host, @AnnieDuke, to explore the intersection of cybersecurity, foreign manipulation, and the urgent case for Decision Education.
Jan and Annie trace the arc from Cold War signals intelligence to today's AI-saturated information ecosystem, examining why protecting our networks means little if we haven't first strengthened our thinking.

I enjoyed this wide-ranging discussion with Annie Duke, and hope you'll find it interesting. We recorded it several months ago, before the recent surge of concern about AI. The ideas and themes we discussed feel more important than ever. @AnnieDuke @AllDecisionEd @Microsoft @decisionpros @kevin_scott @AnthropicAI @openai
What do we lose when a machine can think for us?
On the latest episode of The Decision Education Podcast, @erichorvitz, Chief Scientific Officer at @Microsoft, joins @AnnieDuke to explore what it really means for humans to stay "in the driver's seat" as headlines about an AI takeover proliferate the news.
Drawing on decades of research into human-AI collaboration, Eric argues against the passive framing of an AI "takeover," making the case that governance, design, and clear values determine whether these tools sharpen human judgment or quietly erode it.
Plus, hear Eric draw on lectures he’s given for the Society of Decision Professionals, arguing that the best AI decision tools help people clarify what they value.

AI can do more for us than ever before. So how do we make sure we stay in the driver’s seat?

Stay-at-home moms in the 1970s actually spent less time with their kids than working parents do today. So why does modern parenting feel so challenging?
On the latest episode of The Decision Education Podcast, Corinne Low, associate professor of business economics and public policy at @Wharton, and @AnnieDuke break down how parental expectations shifted from "keeping your kids alive" to “supermom” and why that shift is setting parents up to feel like they're failing by default.

What if a scientific concept could help you make decisions about relationships, career, parenting, where to live, and so much more?
Corinne Low, associate professor of business economics and public policy at @Wharton, joins @AnnieDuke on The Decision Education Podcast to discuss the power of “utility function.”
She argues focusing on utility can help us make decisions based on what’s important to us rather than what’s trending on social media,or anyone else's definition of success.
Listen to the full episode for more insights on why every decision has opportunity costs, the pressure to optimize every choice, and so much more.

Why is randomness so difficult for us to accept?
On the latest episode of The Decision Education Podcast, Barry Schwartz, Swarthmore professor emeritus and author of “Choose Wisely,” shares that he believes that it comes down to two things we don't want to give up: our need for order and our need for control.

This was such a great podcast episode! If you are interested in geeking out on the power of Ulysses contracts, check it out today!
Everyone's talking about Odysseus tying himself to the mast to resist the Sirens’ song in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey." Did you know the scene shows classic behavioral science strategy in action?
It’s what @DavidEagleman, neuroscientist and Alliance Advisory Council member, calls the Ulysses contract. As he and @AnnieDuke discuss on The Decision Education Podcast, commitment devices like "lashing yourself to the mast" can help you resist temptation and stick to your goals in real life.

Can you really put a number on what matters most?
Barry Schwartz, emeritus professor of psychology at Swarthmore College, joins @AnnieDuke on The Decision Education Podcast!
Barry argues that rational choice theory can sometimes push people to rely on oversimplified frameworks that give us a false sense of certainty.
I had a fascinating conversation with Barry Schwartz, emeritus professor of psychology at @swarthmore and a visiting professor at @BerkeleyHaas, for today’s episode of The Decision Education Podcast!
Barry and I explore why understanding what matters most to you in a situation is the first step to making better decisions, how choosing from a large set of options reveals more about your values than choosing from a small set, and why luck and the quality of your decisions are the true determiners of how your life turns out. It’s a can’t-miss discussion. Listen now!
