This conference explores the evolution of behavioral interventions from traditional nudges, which modify choice architecture to influence behavior subtly, toward boosts, which focus on enhancing individual competencies and decision-making skills for sustained behavioral change. While nudges guide decisions by leveraging cognitive biases, boosts empower individuals to understand and reflect on choices, aiming for durable and self-directed improvements. The event covers ethical considerations, application effectiveness, and future directions of AI-enhanced behavioral tools across sectors such as finance, health, and environmental sustainability.
