I find behavioral economics fascinating. Many economists assume rational behavior among all people and it results in economic models that seem good in theory, but end up being completely inaccurate. Humans aren’t 100% rational and the real decisions we make are difficult to account for. We have a similar problem when it comes to the software development process.

And that’s why model debugging, the art and science of understanding and fixing problems in ML models, is so critical to the future of ML.
