Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2025, vol. 172, issue C

Abstract: This paper describes limits of human intelligence and how humans invented artificial intelligence and machine learning. It explores the paradoxical situation that the tools that data scientists have used to develop artificial intelligence are about subjects in which we humans have hard-wired cognitive challenges that mislead us.
