Abstract

Artificial intelligence generally focuses on engineering rationality. While rational agents are undoubtedly useful, we argue that computational methods are also useful for modeling aspects of human behavior that fall short of perfect rationality. And moreover, that for certain kinds of applications, this is preferable to perfect rationality.
