Human Behavior
Summary

The question of how well one can predict human behavior consistent with the laws of physics without causing damage remains a philosophical and scientific puzzle. With identifying smaller sub questions that capture people’s first questions and answering them, researchers hope to solve this mystery.

Human behavior
Summary

Can we build a model accurate enough to predict a human's future behavior? Even quantum mechanics says that at best we could predict the probabilities that someone would choose one action over another.
