Cognitive Biases
and Logical Fallacies
How to avoid
argumentative errors, logical fallacies, cognitive errors?
​
AI can help to identify logical fallacies in arguments by analyzing the structure of the argument and checking it against a set of known logical fallacies. This can help people to better understand the flaws in their own reasoning and to develop more convincing arguments.
​
However, it's important to note that AI is only as unbiased as the data it is trained on. If the data is biased, then the AI algorithm may perpetuate those biases. Therefore, it's important to be mindful of the data used to train AI algorithms and to ensure that it is as unbiased as possible.
​
Here are some examples of classifications and definitions of such biases

The human brain is pretty tricky: While we think we know things, there’s a whole list of cognitive biases that can be gumming up the works.
