New Delhi: Researchers in Germany have developed an artificial intelligence model that can predict how people think and decide, and it’s eerily close to the real deal. Called Centaur, this new model has been trained on over 10 million human decisions and seems to be a major leap in combining psychology with machine learning.

Built by Helmholtz Munich’s Institute for Human-Centered AI, Centaur takes cues from how humans behave across situations, including tasks involving risk, memory, learning, and even moral decisions. The creators believe it could change how we understand mental health and cognitive science.

Centaur was trained using a dataset called Psych-101, which contains choices from over 160 behavioural experiments and around 60,000 people. That’s a massive set of decisions, covering everything from gambling risk to learning from rewards.

Goodness-of-fit on Psych-101.

Most earlier models struggled with a trade-off; they........
