CBI

AI Through a Behavioural Science Lens

Examining How Humans and AI Shape Each Other's Behaviour

AI is no longer just transforming systems — it is transforming people. From how individuals make decisions to how organizations distribute responsibility, AI increasingly shapes human behaviour while simultaneously being shaped by human assumptions, biases, and values.

The Centre for Behavioural Insights (CBI) explores these evolving dynamics through a behavioural science lens, shifting the conversation from what AI can do to how humans respond, adapt, trust, resist, and rely on intelligent systems.

CBI invites scholars and practitioners to critically examine the psychological, social, organizational, and ethical implications of human-AI interaction across workplaces, markets, finance, and strategic decision-making.
