dbo:abstract
  • The Center for Applied Rationality (CFAR) is a nonprofit organization based in Berkeley, California, that hosts workshops on rationality and cognitive bias. It was founded in 2012 by Julia Galef, Anna Salamon, Michael Smith and Andrew Critch, to improve participants' rationality using "a set of techniques from math and decision theory for forming your beliefs about the world as accurately as possible." Its president as of 2021 is Anna Salamon. CFAR's training draws upon fields such as psychology and behavioral economics in an effort to improve people's mental habits. Jennifer Kahn visited the group and described its strengths and flaws in the New York Times. CFAR has conducted a survey of participants which indicates that workshops reduce neuroticism and increase perceived efficacy. CFAR is part of the rationality movement surrounding Eliezer Yudkowsky's site LessWrong, from which CFAR originated. Paul Slovic and Keith Stanovich have served as advisors. The group taught classes for Facebook and the Thiel Fellowship. A scholarship funded by Skype founder Jaan Tallinn has been used to send selected Estonian students to workshops held by the Center for Applied Rationality. (en)
  • Le Centre Pour la Rationalité Appliquée (Center for Applied Rationality abrégé en CFAR) est une organisation à but non lucratif basée à Berkeley, en Californie, qui organise des ateliers sur la rationalité et les biais cognitifs. Il a été fondé en 2012 par Julia Galef, Anna Salamon, Michael Smith et Andrew Critch pour améliorer la rationalité des participants en utilisant "un ensemble de techniques issues des mathématiques et de la théorie de la décision pour former des convictions sur le monde aussi précisément que possible". Sa présidente depuis 2016 est Anna Salamon. La formation du CFAR s’appuie sur des domaines tels que la psychologie et l'économie comportementale, dans le but d’améliorer nos méthodes de réflexion. Jennifer Kahn a décrit ses forces et ses faiblesses dans le New York Times. Le CFAR a mené une enquête auprès des participants qui indique que les ateliers réduisent le neuroticisme et améliore la perception de son efficacité personnelle. Le CFAR fait partie d'un mouvement rationaliste gravitant autour du site LessWrong d'Eliezer Yudkowsky, aussi à l’origine du centre. Paul Slovic et Keith Stanovich en furent conseillers. Une bourse financée par Jaan Tallinn, fondateur de Skype, fut utilisée pour envoyer une selection d'étudiants estoniens à des ateliers organisés par le centre. (fr)
