Stefan Herzog

I head the research area “boosting decision making” and am a senior research scientist at the Center for Adaptive Rationality at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin.

I study how to boost human judgment and decision making (scienceofboosting.org) by investigating human and machine behavior—drawing on psychology, cognitive science, AI, collective intelligence, and computational social science. My work addresses key challenges facing individuals, organizations, and societies: building better and more trustworthy hybrid human–AI teams, ensuring AI supports (rather than erodes) human competences, and strengthening resilience against misinformation, manipulation, and risks of generative AI.
