Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development studied the differences between the online and offline worlds. They identified four major challenges: User behavior is influenced by manipulative choice architectures. The information presented by AI-powered information architectures is not neutral; it is personalized on the basis of the data collected from users. False and misleading information is another challenge for people online. They propose specific interventions to address these four challenges. They suggest that ‘boosting tools’ can be used to train new competencies and enable better, more autonomous decisions in the online world.
