In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with award-winning investigative journalist and decision-science expert Cheryl Strauss Einhorn. Together, they unpack the role of AI in modern decision-making and explore how humans can lead, rather than follow, algorithmic advice. Cheryl introduces the AREA Method and shares how her latest book, The Human Edge: Decision Making in the Age of AI (forthcoming via Cornell University Press), offers an actionable roadmap for integrating AI as a thinking partner—not a decision maker. This conversation challenges common myths and puts human agency back at the center of complex problem-solving.
About the Guest:
Cheryl Strauss Einhorn is the founder of Decisive, creator of the AREA Method, and author of three acclaimed books on decision-making. She is also an educator at Cornell and Columbia and a former investigative journalist with Barron’s. Cheryl blends rigorous research with ethical inquiry, helping individuals and organizations make clearer, values-based decisions—even in an AI-driven era.
Key Takeaways:
AI can support but not replace human judgment—it doesn’t know your context, emotions, or goals.
Cheryl's AREA Method provides an eight-step structure for better, bias-aware decision making.
Decision-making is a human superpower. Clear thinking before turning to AI improves outcomes.
Mistakes with AI are learning opportunities—ask why it responded the way it did.
The myth that “AI knows better” must be dismantled—we must lead AI, not follow it blindly.
