’I've called Daniel Kahneman the world's most influential living psychologist and I believe that is true. He pretty much created the field of behavioural economics and has revolutionised large parts of cognitive psychology and social psychology.’ – Steven Pinker

Daniel Kahneman shot to fame in 2002 when he won the Nobel prize in economics for his work on the psychology of human judgment and decision-making. His first book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, was a worldwide bestseller and set out his revolutionary ideas about how human error and bias can be recognised and mitigated. Now Kahneman is back with an acclaimed follow-up, Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, in which he sets out how businesses and governments can make smarter, swifter and more accurate decisions in our increasingly frenetic world.

On Thursday May 26 Kahneman comes to the Intelligence Squared stage for a rare live event in the UK – his first since 2014 – alongside his co-authors Cass Sunstein and Olivier Sibony. Together they will argue that the key to creating successful organisations lies in reducing 'noise', defined as unwanted variability in human judgment. They will set out a strategy for how we can identify bias and human error in organisations and implement a noise reduction strategy to correct it. They will also examine the rise of artificial intelligence and discuss what this will mean for the future of decision-making. Join us for an evening of insight, understanding and a rare prescription for making coherent choices in a chaotic world.
