As part of our speaker series "Decision & Design", Prof. Pierre-Majorique Léger from HEC Montreal gave a talk at the KD2Lab on September 12, 2025. As AI becomes deeply embedded in daily life, it enhances efficiency but also risks encouraging uncritical reliance on its recommendations, especially when user interfaces prioritize automation and simplicity. Drawing on a series of NeuroIS experiments, he argued in his talk for a shift from “Don’t make me think” to “Make me think,” highlighting the need for user interface designs that foster critical engagement and responsible AI use. 

We look forward to expanding the collaboration between the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and HEC Montreal.
