LLMs can reproduce human biases in decision-making, study finds

A new research paper explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) to replicate human behavioral biases in decision-making, specifically in route choice scenarios. The study proposes a framework to evaluate how LLMs, without explicit parameter specification, can exhibit decision behaviors consistent with cumulative prospect theory (CPT). Findings suggest LLMs can serve as a scalable alternative for modeling human decision processes, offering a foundation for advanced agent-based simulations and AI-driven behavioral research. AI

IMPACT LLMs may offer a scalable method for simulating human decision-making, advancing agent-based modeling and behavioral research.
