🔮 Ein psychologisches Team um @wingentobias.bsky.social möchte heraufinden, wie treffsicher KI-Modelle wissenschaftliche Studienergebnisse prognostizieren können. Das Projekt bezieht die Studierenden aktiv mit ein und macht seine Ergebnisse fortlaufend sichtbar. Mehr Infos: https://bit.ly/4nyfgC3

Das Lehrgebiet Behavioral Economics und Interkulturelle Psychologie startet mit einem spannenden Projekt: Kann KI die Ergebnisse von Studien vorhersagen? 🤖📊 Studis machen direkt mit, indem sie ihre Arbeiten einbinden. 🤝Ergebnisse werden im schon im laufenden Prozess sichtbar gemacht #openscience. 👇
Excited to unveil our new project & Shiny App: HaGenAI! 🎉 We test if AI can predict study results in behavioral econ: ~50 novel studies where LLMs give forecasts before data collection. 📊 Results are shared live and open here:

In my talks about replication crisis (not reproducibility) I always used as attention-catcher that we cannot afford this roughly 50% replicability in human sciences since someone like Trump could use this to discredit everything and push their agenda. I hate that this prediction came true.
