Not all psych is as jurasic as you describe. For example cofnitive psychology has better theorios with more predictive power than personal psychology that is often picked at. Sure journals are flooded with underpowered studies and studies with very little links to theory, and there is still massive gaps in scientific knowledge but core consturcts are solid.

With district heating technically you can heat your home with AI quite easily.

Here is an example of large scale project from Finland. https://www.fortum.com/media/2022/03/fortum-and-microsoft-an...

I guess what you need is researchers, not dashboards.

Fixing dysfunctional decision making by delegating it to "data", what could go wrong? Might as well flip a coin and save the money.

Automating the workers away is always to goal. But the irony is that automation makes the few humans that are left in the loop more important than before. So it is possible to end up in a situation where 1000s of easily replaceable employees were replaced by 10s of very difficult to replace employees and very complex system. So all in all it can be that even 10x productivity increase per employee might not be enough to justify the costs overall.

So I guess we have to see this case by case as in manufacturing and industries.

It will be interesting to see how this company is doing 5 years. It seems that thanks to the AI system novice employees are able to cash out on skilled employees knowledge. But this system might also hinder the novices changes on gaining knowledge and becoming skilled employees. And those skilled emploees are essentialto maintain this system to respond to evolving needs. So the effect on job market might be the opposite than researcher wish: recruits need to be smarter than before and the gap between low-skilled and high-skilled employees will keep widening.

So in that case introducing AI to this process would have the exactly same outcome as automation has had in manufacturing.

I don't think it is very brave to claim the same hypothesis that Turing had in 50's. And Cognitive science basically as a whole studies this hypothesis.
