Health Medical Homework Help

Ana was feeling back pain and went for a medical checkup. Instead of following the treatments and medications suggested by her doctor, Ana decided to trust and consult artificial intelligence (AI). Ana believed AI was not prone to bias, errors, emotions or attitudes, so she went home and started her conversation with her Amazon Alexa device. She asked Alexa, “Alexa, what is lumbar disk pain?” and “Alexa, how can I alleviate lumbar?disk?pain?” Alexa quickly responded by referring her to WebMD and suggesting some common treatments for muscle, bone, and back nerve pain. Ana decided to follow Alexa’s suggestions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be gaining support and trust among people. People are relying on these technologies to help make decisions. We regularly use AI for information about the weather, the traffic, or a recipe. But, should we trust AI with decision-making issues regarding our health?

In order to make good decisions, we should consider multiple alternatives. We should also acknowledge that biases and errors may influence decision-making (Robbins & Judge, 2018). Decision-making models are a valuable tool for arriving at solutions that require wise judgment.

For this Discussion, you will reflect on bias, stereotyping, risk aversion, halo effect, and overconfidence. You will also apply and evaluate a decision-making model (rational, bounded rationality, or intuition).

To prepare?for this Discussion: 

• Review the Learning Resources for this week.

• Consider what errors or biases may have been a part of your decision-making process. 
• Consider what emotions or attitudes may have played in your decision-making process. 
• Download the Case Study: BAET 3000 document found in this week’s Learning Resources. 
• Choose one of the following decision-making models to use during this Discussion: 
  • Rational model 
  • Bounded rationality 
  • Intuition 

By Day 4

Post a comprehensive response to the following:

• Identify which of the decision-making processes you have selected to apply to the BAET 3000 case study. 
• Explain where you can identify potential for anchoring bias, stereotyping, risk aversion, halo effect, confirmation bias, and/or overconfidence in the BAET 3000 case study.  
• Indicate whether or not you would purchase the BAET 3000, and explain your decision.  
• Explain which decision-making model you used (rational, bounded rationality, or intuition) and why you used this model to make the decision. 
• Name at least one benefit and one challenge to the decision-making model (rational, bounded rationality, or intuition) you selected. 
• As the director of Central Texas Dermatology Associates, with whom would you need to communicate with in order to implement your decision? What methods would you use to communicate your decision? Would the communication be formal or informal?
