Summary
👤
SeniorStefan Herzog is a senior research scientist and head of the “Boosting Decision Making” research area at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, combining psychology, AI, and computational social science to improve human and hybrid human–AI decision making. With a PhD in psychology from the University of Basel and over a decade of research experience, he studies interventions to strengthen resilience against misinformation, manipulation, and risks from generative AI. He bridges basic and applied work—publishing in top journals, advising policy, delivering international keynotes, and translating insights into practical systems for organizations and citizens. Known for interdisciplinary rigor and open, reproducible science, he leads efforts to ensure AI supports rather than erodes human competences. An underappreciated strength is his sustained focus on collective intelligence: designing team-level boosts that scale individual judgment gains to organizational and societal impact.
